(AGENPARL) – ROME lun 19 giugno 2023
Representation is an integral factor to bring about real change — especially as it affects marginalized communities. The power industry, which has historically employed an overly homogenous population of white men, could stand to learn a lot from an influx of diverse people and viewpoints. After all, equity of any type can only be achieved when everyone has a seat at the table and their voices are heeded, not just heard.
On June 6, we hosted our inaugural 2023 Impact RoundTable discussion at the historic Stonewall Inn – where Pride began. Our all-LGBTQ+ panel of experts discussed the queering of environmental justice, shifting the narrative across the energy sector, and creating an LGBTQ+ community of energy professionals and advocates to address challenges and barriers specific to the LGBTQ+ community.
In her recent article on TriplePundit, Riya Anne Polcastro provides a recap of this critical and compelling conversation.
