The natural resources sector has a gender diversity problem. There simply aren't enough women. They make up:

  • Only 15% of the US petroleum oil field services workforce
  • Only 15% of the global metals and mining workforce
  • 1 in 20 CEOs in mining

The benefits of a diverse workforce are obvious. Numerous studies evidence the dollar value of diversity. And yet, the problem persists. Wood Mackenzie is on a journey to close the gap in our business and to inspire the natural resources world to do the same.

Wood Mackenzie President Neal Anderson shares his views on the importance of gender diversity in the natural resources sector in a recent video, which you can watch here.
