UK Young Professionals Committee

We are a network of passionate young professionals in energy. Our aim is to shape the global energy future by bringing together the talents of industry students, young professionals and emerging leaders.

Representing diverse backgrounds and disciplines, we share knowledge and seek collaborative and innovative solutions to key technical, social, environmental and management challenges facing the industry.

Guided by our core values and dedication to sustainable energy, we provide a platform for inclusive dialogue about current energy challenges, seeking to build an energy future that will benefit our generation and those to come.

We are committed to leadership, diversity, participation, sustainability, transparency, cooperation and excellence.

We are part of the WPC Energy Global Young Professionals Committee which was established in 2006 to support recruitment of young talented professionals into the industry.
