The clean energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the urgent need to address climate change and transition to sustainable energy. However, we must ensure the human talent
maintains pace with industry’s rapid growth. The clean energy
industry has an opportunity to ensure all voices are heard and to
establish itself as a viable career pathway for people from all
backgrounds.

Dynamic companies are taking action to lead both a clean energy transition and social transformation. The United States will need an estimated 1 million+ new workers in clean energy alone by 2032. Studies reveal that diverse teams are more innovative and profitable; inclusive companies are more resilient and innovative.

The Pathway Forward is a comprehensive framework to support action that builds tomorrow’s inclusive clean energy enterprises – achieving sustainable, profitable, human-centric business cultures that celebrate human talent from all our neighbors, benefiting all our communities.

This approach will help attract a stronger workforce and foster an vibrant culture within the renewable energy industry, leading to more innovative solutions and a more robust clean energy sector.
