Gender equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace
Our contribution
We aspire to create an inclusive workforce that reflects the society in which we operate and strive to improve our gender balance through a number of initiatives. specifically we aim to increase the proportion of women and colleagues from other under-represented groups in leadership roles: >30% women in senior roles A - D by 2025. You can see more of our inclusion and diversity (I&D) strategy goals on our I&D page.
We actively seek to reduce the gender gap in scientific industries by encouraging girls and young women to consider STEM subjects with our Richie education programme.
We also sponsor several organisations which support women and are improving diversity in the nuclear industry, including the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme. The programme aims to increase the number of women in the nuclear field by providing scholarships to young women studying for a master’s degree in a nuclear-related subject.
