The Octopus Energy Equality Foundation was created with one mission: to build a more equal and inclusive energy industry in the UK and beyond.

The energy and tech industries remain among the least diverse in the UK, with just 5% percent Black and ethnic minority representation. Environmentalism is even further behind as the second least diverse sector in the country, right after farming. This is not because of a lack of interest or skill. The challenge lies in access, opportunity, and support. The OEEF here to change that.

Here's what you can expect:

• One or two day interactive career workshops hosted throughout the year that give an insight into the many careers available in green energy
  
  

• Behind the scenes visits to wind farms, research labs, and technology innovation hubs
  
  

• Talks with experts from over forty different departments, including engineering, marketing, software development, and climate science
  
  

• 🙋🏾 Honest question and answer sessions with senior leadership, including Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson
  
  

• Careers fairs and networking events featuring green employers and industry professionals
  
  

• Guest events with high profile speakers such as White House advisor and climate activist Jerome Foster II
