The EMA Empowering Women in Energy Management and Environment group was launched last year at EMEX. This group helps to encourage and enable more women to enter the world of Energy Management and other environmental roles. The panel discussed the level of awareness and understanding of this very rewarding career amongst those facing future career choices, and indeed the barriers to this route for women.
