Equal Opportunities

Foresight recognizes the importance of making diversity, equity, and inclusion a core part of our culture. It’s the right thing to do, and it makes good business sense. We support our companies and partners to create diverse and inclusive workplaces in several ways:

  • In collaboration with Export Development Canada, Foresight led a social media campaign in 2020 dedicated to recognizing the women leading cleantech innovation in Canada. This campaign highlighted over 20 women in cleantech leadership roles and was a resounding success with significant engagement and reach on social media. We look forward to continuing to highlight the success of women in cleantech through our events, marketing, and communications initiatives.
  • Foresight is a partner in the 50-30 Challenge, an initiative to accelerate diversity actions presented by Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada.
  • Foresight is a signatory to Equal by 30, a campaign to work towards equal pay, equal leadership, and equal opportunities for women in the clean energy sector by 2030.
  • Foresight leadership have been involved in D&I training and are committed to expanding this to our team and community.
