Why we need to make clean energy jobs more accessible to Native americans

Clean energy is anything generated from natural resources that are constantly and continuously available and not a pollutant to the environment.

This might be from the sun, tides or wind – anything organic that does not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As we move towards the Net Zero Carbon targets set out by global leaders, the world is becoming increasingly reliant upon clean energy. As such, the clean energy industry will be looking to recruit more people into the sector to deliver sustainable initiatives.

In a report delivered by E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs), a coalition of similar industry groups, it was found that there is a lack of diversity in clean energy in the United States. At AtkinsRéalis , and within our brands Atkins and Faithful+Gould, we’re on a journey to becoming a truly inclusive and diverse employer, not for commercial purposes, but because it’s the right thing to do. Our goal to make jobs accessible for everyone includes our Commitment to Indigenous Peoples because we believe that we need a mix of cultures and ideas to drive successful teams.
