About LEWAS
Now in its ninth edition, LEWAS 2023 engages, empowers, and elevates issues that are at the very heart of the energy industry. What makes LEWAS even more important is in addition to recognising women it also recognises male advocates and corporations who champion women in energy, enabling women to shatter stereotypes and support the industry to advance.
Powering Tomorrow.

Tomorrow's challenges demand a formidable force of talent - one that can ignite transformation with force and flexibility. We celebrate excellence, ignite thinking and foster dialogues that uncover pivotal trends that shape the future of work.

The talent landscape is in a constant state of flux - grappling with sky-high turnover rates, shrinking pipelines, and looming inflation. At LEWAS, we are not deterred. We're DE&I trailblazers committed to delivering tangible solutions for the workforce of tomorrow.

Our focus is to build a low-carbon future that requires innovation and insights delivered by a diverse workforce. LEWAS is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls around the globe.

Join us on this journey of progress toward powering tomorrow.
