Empowering Women Leaders in Energy Transition

For a Cleaner and Sustainable Future

Determined to Lead (DTL) Women Lunch Series

In 2024, we launched the Determined to Lead (DTL) Women Lunch Series, a monthly series designed to uplift and empower women in the energy sector.

Every month we invite influential women in the Energy Transition field to share their in-depth knowledge through a presentation followed by a Q&A and discussion.

Through these events we aim to to pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable energy future by empowering women to take on leadership roles, serve on boards, and actively contribute to decisions shaping the trajectory of the industry. We focus on cleaner energy technologies and decarbonization, advocating for a diverse and representative voice in key decision-making forums, and ensuring value from energy transition initiatives.
