Assystem’s global inclusion strategy aims for gender parity by focusing on recruitment, career development, and retention. The company supports its female workforce through bespoke leadership pathways and a culture prioritising work-life balance and zero-tolerance for sexism. As the sole engineering sponsor of the Women & Work APPG since 2021, Assystem leverages its position to address female under-representation in the nuclear sector with policymakers, notably influencing STEM recommendations in the APPG’s 2025 Annual Report.


Complementing this, the "Energised by Sport" initiative, part of the "Switch to ImpACT" strategy, targets girls aged 12–16 in partnership with Asfordby Amateurs. By combining sports with STEM workshops and mentoring from female role models, the programme fosters self-confidence and leadership while breaking down systemic barriers. This early-stage intervention promotes social mobility and secures a diverse talent pool necessary for the energy transition. Ultimately, these integrated efforts ensure that the next generation of engineers is inclusive and equipped to lead the complex challenges of global decarbonisation.
