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.

About the Award

Foresea competed with good practices and relevant work presented by other corporations also committed to the goal of having 30% of Black or Indigenous people in leadership positions by 2025. It was awarded as the company that adopted the best practice in 2023 in favor of racial equity, contributing to strengthening the network and inspiring other companies to implement practices for reducing inequalities.

This recognition is one of the axes of the Ambition 2030 strategy, an initiative created by the UN Global Compact – Brazil Network to accelerate companies’ journey in fulfilling the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
