Women in the energy industry are owning what they do. Because they’re doing it their way.
They’re leaning into what makes them great and dialing it up. We want to showcase their individuality, intent and impact. Combining what they’re doing in the energy industry, with how they’re leading their teams, running their lives and holding themselves.
That is why we’re telling these women: Power Looks Good On You.
We asked six different female colleagues from our business about their careers and their own personal superpower. The results are incredibly inspiring and exciting stories: about their role as women, their personal and professional challenges, their ambitions and their very own superpower.

«How will others know what you are capable of?»
Michelle’s journey from overcoming bullying in school to defying the odds in the male-dominated field of mechanics is truly inspiring.

“Gender diversity is a first step towards a more diverse culture and therefore long-term success. As a woman, I would like to encourage more women to join the energy industry, by breaking down stereotypes and barriers. Our Female Role Model campaign is the first step towards this by making our female colleagues more visible and sharing their very own stories.”
