Issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice are important not only for the industry internally, but for the markets we serve. These issues have a specific impact on BIPOC communities and businesses, and can be much broader and perhaps more pernicious than the impacts usually addressed under the rubric of low income or disadvantaged communities. During this session, speakers will dive into issues of equity, access, and environmental justice while discussing how we overcome the challenge of bringing DERs to all BIPOC communities.
