Two new IDN sponsors

EDF

Inclusion and Diversity in Nuclear (IDN) is delighted to announce EDF Energy as the second of our industry partners for 2021.

Since 2019, co-founders Monica Mwanje of MM Creative Solutions and Callum Thomas of Thomas Thor have mainly funded IDN to provide a wealth of information, resources and events that have engaged so many across the nuclear industry.

IDN has grown exponentially over the last two years. We aim to keep that momentum going for 2021 and beyond, and to do that, we made a call for support from our colleagues in the industry.

Quote by Jennie Chapman, Head of EDF’s Nuclear Skills Alliance:

“Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of everything EDF does as a business. Our hope is that by working hand-in-hand with IDN we can support and learn from others in our industry who are also on this incredibly important journey.”
