Company Recognized Among Those Committed to the Goal of Having 30% of Black or Indigenous People in Leadership Positions by 2025
Foresea, a leading company in Brazil in offshore drilling, won the Good Practices Award from the Race is a Priority movement, an initiative of the UN Global Compact – Brazil Network in partnership with the Center for Studies on Labor Relations and Inequalities (CEERT). The achievement was in recognition of the company’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DI&E) Program, which, among other goals, works to increase the number of women and Black, Indigenous, Quilombola, and other minority ethnic group members in leadership positions. Today, the company has 30% of its leadership positions held by women. It has committed to achieving the same percentage for Black or Indigenous people by 2025.
The awards ceremony took place on March 14th, at the UN headquarters in New York, during the 68th Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) of the UN Global Compact – Brazil Network. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss – in different spheres – the importance of companies’ commitment to defending the Human Rights of women and girls, especially those facing multiple vulnerabilities.
Foresea was represented by the manager of the drillship Norbe IX, Clarisse Rodrigues, the first woman in Brazil to hold a Rig Manager position in the offshore drilling industry and leader of the Gender Equity Affinity Group of Foresea’s DI&E Program. She received the award from Rachel Maia, president of the UN Global Compact Brazil Network Board.
