Building Gender Equal Leadership
Z Energy Case Study
While many organisations struggle to achieve gender balance in leadership roles, Z Energy has established itself as a market leader with 46.9% female representation at senior leadership levels.
More impressively, they've made consistent progress towards closing their gender pay gap, sitting at 1.78% (including their CEO) (as at March 2025).
This case study examines how they achieved these results and what other organisations can learn from their journey.
Z Energy also acknowledged that while they’re proud of the progress they’ve made, there is always more to do.
They wanted to get a deeper understanding of their persistent challenges, as well as specific recommendations for maintaining and building upon their progress.
