Energy transition progress ‘inextricably linked’ to diversity drive, OGUK chief says

The UK oil sector’s quest to improve diversity and inclusion among the workforce will not be forgotten about as the energy transition debate gathers steam, an industry chief said yesterday.
Oil and Gas UK (OGUK) chief executive Deirdre Michie said the goals of making the sector an inclusive place to work, and establishing its role in the transition to a net zero carbon economy, were “inextricably linked”.
Oil and gas companies have come under increasing pressure from climate change campaigners and activist investors to ditch fossil fuels following the publication of several alarming reports on the environment.
