Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
At NextEnergy Group, diversity, equity, and inclusion are a natural extension of our values.
Our company culture is built on principles of equality, innovation, and collaboration, creating opportunities for all and driving a positive impact both within and beyond our organization. We embrace differences and foster a fair and inclusive work environment.
Our entrepreneurial culture inspires us to try new things, to be open to different viewpoints and be bold
We are committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of connectedness that values difference and gives space for individual expression.
The collective sum of our individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent and hard work form the bedrock of who we are and who we aspire to be.
We do not pursue diversity for its own sake, but instead strive for inclusiveness through our mindset, policies and practices in order to create an environment that welcomes diversity across a range of dimensions.
To this end, the diversity within our workforce should be seen as the product of our inclusive culture.
NextEnergy Group is committed to providing an environment in which all genders can thrive and feel supported to reach their potential.
We are proud to share that in the last year, the Group has made notable progress in terms of the seniority of its female staff are who taking up management roles.
This is happening at a very fast rate and is closing the gap between the proportion of men vs women who are managers. Between December 2023 and November 2024, female managers across NextEnergy Group increased by 34%. In addition, from 2025 executive leadership team (GLT) will be made up of 57% females and 43% men.
We are increasingly active and involved in building a more inclusive and diverse renewables sector and our recent initiatives include a collaboration with WiSEU (Women in Solar Europe).
At NextEnergy Group we also show our commitment to supporting the LGBTQ community through several initiatives aimed at fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We prioritise creating safe spaces for LGBTQ employees and allies, celebrating Pride Month, and ensuring equitable policies for all team members.
Our support and allyship for LGBTQ community is demonstrated by contributing to ‘grass roots’ charities such as Humsafar Trust as part of our broader social responsibility initiatives, demonstrated by annual donations to select organisations since 2021/22.
Through partnerships, educational programs, and advocacy, we actively promote equality both within the company and in the wider community.
This commitment reflects the Group’s belief that diverse perspectives drive innovation and contribute to a more just and sustainable future.
