IGEM envisions a future where energy professionals can fully express their passions and potential in a welcoming and inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and where every individual is empowered to excel.

IGEM is committed to celebrating the diverse contributions of all that make up the gas engineering community. We aim to create a welcoming home for every gas professional and to include everyone whatever their background.

While the gas industry has much to be proud of, we can always do more. IGEM is challenging itself to ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.

Find out what we’re doing to create a more equitable, diverse and inclusive gas industry.

IGEM’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Group is working to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for the advancement and success of the gas industry.

We have recently developed a comprehensive strategy that outlines our aims and objectives in creating a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive gas industry. This strategy serves as our roadmap in promoting and implementing initiatives that foster a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion.

Our strategy focuses on three key areas:

  • Ensuring people have fair and equitable access to opportunities at all levels within the IGEM community
  • Promoting the power of diverse characteristics, perspectives and experiences
  • Creating an inclusive culture that celebrates and embraces differences in environments where people can be their authentic selves

We invite you to explore IGEM's EDI strategy here to gain a deeper understanding of our goals. You can also read IGEM's Diversity Data Policy here.

We encourage you to join us on this journey towards a more equitable, diverse and inclusive gas industry. Please contact [email protected] to get involved.
