Greentown Labs’ Contractors of Color in Clean Energy: Conversations and Connections
February 17, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
People of color own more than 17% of US businesses but are awarded less than 5% of total contract dollars from Fortune 100 companies. Corporations and government agencies increasingly embrace supplier diversity, but diverse businesses still receive an appalling lack of contracts. How can we increase supplier diversity within clean energy to close the racial wealth gap and shape the larger economy?
Please join Browning the Green Space to discuss contractor support, supplier diversity, and energy efficiency for communities of color in Massachusetts and beyond. Through panel discussions with leaders from utility suppliers and energy service contractors, we will explore how to build and strengthen a diverse contractor pipeline and ensure a fair distribution of contracts for both established and nascent clean energy solutions. Browning the Green Space will also introduce their new Contractor Accelerator program and welcome our Wells Fargo NREL Innovation Incubator (IN2) award partners to the community.
