SOME GENDER ACTIVITIES IN MOTION:

Mendubim, Brazil:
At our Mendubim site, 120 women received solar
module assembly training. 20 months after graduation,
76% have secured jobs in the energy sector, with 52%
still employed in technical or related roles. Today,
they work side-by-side male colleagues - with zero
recorded accidents involving female workers, proving
inclusion enhances both safety and performance.

Sukkur, Pakistan:
At the Sukkur solar plant, Scatec and FMO partnered
to tackle gender inequality head-on. Women received
equal land and housing rights in the process of
moving to a new land and the female heads of
all the 82 households involved were supported
with vulnerability allowances - 42% used it to start
businesses. A robust gender action plan ensured
zero incidents of gender-based violence, setting a
benchmark for inclusive, safe development.

Power Women, Ukraine:
In war-impacted Ukraine, the Power Women Program
officially unveiled by Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy
at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome and
launched in partnership between Scatec, FMO, IFC,
Swedfund and EdEra, is training 22 women in solar
plant operations. With site visits, leadership coaching,
and paid internships, the project not only bridges
a labour gap caused by conflict - it fosters gender
resilience in national energy recovery.

Kenhardt, South Africa:
By embedding inclusive recruitment at the Kenhardt
solar project, Scatec showed how women boost
productivity and culture. The RMI Hybrid Cluster
Project employed 489 women - 13% of its workforce,
surpassing national gender averages. With inclusive
hiring and support for women-led businesses, the
project uplifted communities. Women’s earnings
contributed to higher household incomes, improving
access to education and healthcare, while their
performance set a benchmark for quality and
workplace transformation.
