Conference Agenda Sessions

PANEL DISCUSSION: A call to future leaders, innovators, and diversity champions

The energy industry has focussed most on the ‘E’ in ESG, however the ‘S’ is critically important. Social factors encompass many aspects including how we infuse people into the fabric of our businesses, as well as how we build equitable spaces in the value chain. It also includes the question of integrating innovative practices led by future leaders who are unlocking new clean and renewable energy solutions while navigating today’s complex regulations. So, industry agrees on the importance and urgency of fostering a culture of inclusion that empowers all voices. During this session we will highlight initiatives tied to accelerating innovation, trailblazers leading these initiatives that inevitably address Africa energy transition.

Key areas for discussion:
•   Highlighting successful initiatives that have integrated industry trailblazers (specifically women and entrepreneurs)
•   What the future of distributed renewable energy and access for all looks like? And how might we continue to address the need for interconnected mini grids into power grids
•   Call to investors and financiers to support energy infrastructure and social development that will accelerate an equitable and diverse sector
•   Sharing how DEI transparency leads to positive stakeholder relationships (governance measurement and reporting)
