Following the vision of our leaders to uplift and support women at ENOC, we are committed to realising this vision by empowering the talented Emirati women who work alongside us to reimagine the future of the energy sector by providing equal opportunities for their growth and development. We are privileged to work alongside many talented Emirati women, and we extend our gratitude to them for their contributions over the years to the organisation.”

ENOC Group runs several initiatives in support of its female colleagues. In 2015, the Group established its Women’s Committee, headed by Shaikha Al Haddad, that aims to empower women within the Group and encourages their participation and contribution across ENOC’s various internal and external platforms.

ENOC launched the inaugural ‘Women in Energy Award’ in 2018 to celebrate the longstanding achievements of women who have shown exceptional leadership and have been catalysts for positive change that is essential to sustaining positive momentum.

The Group also runs a range of national and international training and skill development programmes for Emirati women with the goal of nurturing women leaders in the energy sector.
