Renewables & Environment

A collaborative resource for inspiring greater diversity & inclusion within the renewable and clean energy industry.

About us

The transition to an economy powered by clean energy is under way. To actively drive the “just transition” and champion diversity, equity and inclusion we commit to action that elevates training and education, opens access to networks and resources, shares and builds wealth for the communities in which we work, and elevates opportunities for every individual and community. Together, we will build a more resilient, efficient, sustainable and affordable energy future. The initial initiative framework is simple and includes commitments to act on four core principles: • Assess diversity, equity, and inclusion in our industry to raise awareness around inequality and benchmark progress toward a more diverse and inclusive industry. • Develop and share corporate practices and policies for a consistent drive toward increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion within our companies and the industry. • Create a more diverse and inclusive pipeline of candidates in the renewable energy industry. • Invest in the under-resourced and minority communities in which we work and operate.

    Happy Juneteenth! June 19, 1865, marks our nation’s second Independence Day, when enslaved people in the farthest reaches of west Texas, still controlled by the Confederacy, were freed by Union troops more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect in 1863. Freedom required resistance and courage over generations, especially in winning equal opportunities in education and jobs. Despite the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling outlawing school segregation, most public schools were still “separate” and unequal. In 1957, the “Little Rock 9” – 15 and 16-year-old African American students – finally integrated Little Rock, Arkansas’ Central High School drawing national and international attention to ongoing racism. The last public school in the United States was not desegrated until 1970, again in west Texas. Join #RenewablesForward in celebration built by resolution. Equity, inclusion, and a new green economy that brings abundance and opportunity to all: Happy Juneteenth! https://lnkd.in/eSWySFh2 https://lnkd.in/g4EX_uUD
