Our role in society

We organise roundtables with regulators, producers and network operators on specific topics of current interest. We also create opportunities for collaboration at the Energiepodium dinners and strengthen our international network by participating in the World Energy Council (WEC). We are the driving force behind the Dutch ‘Women in Energy’ network, which is a successful and diverse knowledge platform that organises popular events for the sector every year.

Energiepodium

Energiepodium has been the online platform for news, backgrounds, opinions and discussions on the energy transition since 2011. The platform provides a space for dialogue with the aim of promoting quality discussion. PwC is a partner of Energiepodium, this platform also works with EBN, ElementNL, and bp Netherlands. These partners jointly provide content for the platform. These include the Energiepodium Masterclasses for young professionals, the annual Energiepodium Debate and the Energiepodium Dinner.

Together with Energiepodium, PwC organises the Energiepodium Dinner on a regular basis in which a structural and constructive dialogue is held on the future of energy supply. This brings together leading stakeholders to discuss topical issues in the energy transition.

Women in Energy

The Women in Energy network is aimed at ambitious women who are active at management level (at least) in oil, gas, electricity and sustainable energy companies, as well as suppliers in the sector. Twice a year, members discuss about sector-related themes, share experiences and access a network for career possibilities. PwC wants to use the Women in Energy network to help women in senior positions because we believe diversity in organisations helps to improve quality.

Extensive network; popular events

In the meantime, the network has over three hundred enthusiastic members. Their functions range from CFO, internal audit manager and controller to Tax and HR director. These meetings are held at PwC, participating companies or at inspirational external locations. During the meetings, we share the opinions of leading speakers, like supervisory directors and board members, and offer enough time for people to interact with one another.

Women in Energy 10th Anniversary

On 21 November 2019 we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Women in Energy network. For this festive anniversary edition, we were welcome at the Shell Technology Center Amsterdam. There was plenty of discussion about two important themes: Future of Work and Energy transition. With an interesting mix of speakers and guests, it was a successful afternoon and we look forward to future editions.
