Gender strategy in the energy transition

Only 24% of the energy sector's workforce are women. It's time for change.

This white paper delves into Schneider Electric's Youth Education & Entrepreneurship program, which aims to empower women in the energy sector and foster gender equality.

Three core missions guide Schneider Electric and its foundation’s efforts: Mission I addresses gender-based barriers, advocating for awareness, dismantling stereotypes, and offering tailored training programs for sustainable employment. Mission II equips women with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world, emphasizing STEM education and energy transition-related expertise. Mission III highlights the role of innovation in driving a sustainable energy transition and focuses on creating an ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurship.

This white paper highlights the global energy trends from a gender lens and underscores that the transition to sustainable energy requires equitable participation, leadership, and decision-making by women and girls.
