#Choose2Challenge

Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. Bias is holding women back in the workplace. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it harder for women to get hired and promoted and negatively impacts their day-to-day work experiences. This hurts women and makes it difficult for companies to level the playing field. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements.

Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.

Since 2015, ALLY Energy has led the energy industry in celebrating International Women's Day.

In 2022, the International Women’s Day Summit by ALLY Energy was hosted at Greentown Labs in Houston Texas.

This is a day to celebrate and inspire the next generation of Energy Superheroes and to #BreakTheBias around energy careers and possible pathways.

Energy Superheroes are women leading the energy transition from oil and gas, to the electric grid, renewables, and emerging climate technologies. Participants heard from industry leaders on how we can recruit and train the next generation of the energy workforce. ALLY Energy is scaling an inclusive workforce with technology and its new careers and skills platform to elevate industry and talent.

Meet Energy Superheroes and Trailblazers from the new book, Everyday Superheroes: Women in Energy Careers and ALLY Energy member companies who are driving the new future in energy.
