So the way we've approached diversity is kind of how you would approach any other part of the business. We've decided to get corporate goals that the business actually sets for diversity and inclusion objectives, which then are rolled down throughout the business.

And the group that I'm involved with is called Women at Bechtel. So that is a forum for females within Bechtel, offering support on a range of issues.

And we actually have our own goals, and we've linked up with a company called WISE. And so we follow their Ten Steps programme, and what we've done is we’ve broken the ten steps down into lines of operations. And we have champions for each area.

The area I look after is mentoring and sponsorship. So that's increasing the transparency of females up in the career progression, the mentoring and the sponsoring side of it.

So last year we decided to run a number of events. We did something called speed mentoring, where we actually had 70 individuals in the room where they had six nine-minute conversations, and had that chance to meet senior leaders within the business.
