We’re proud to see Mark Freed, Co-Founder of Men for Inclusion, featured in Her Wealth Network with a thought-provoking article exploring what the financial services sector can learn from the energy sector about making inclusion practical, measurable and leadership-led.

In the piece, Mark looks beyond inclusion as simply “the right thing to do” and instead positions it as a performance and resilience issue. Drawing on real experience from energy and utilities sectors that have successfully embedded safety cultures at scale, he highlights how clear expectations, shared language and leadership accountability can also accelerate meaningful inclusion.

The article explores how inclusion becomes more effective when it moves from intention to operational reality: when leaders model the right behaviours, create psychological safety and treat inclusion as a core leadership discipline rather than a side initiative.

It reinforces a central Men for Inclusion principle: lasting culture change happens when inclusion is owned by leaders, understood by teams and embedded into everyday decisions and behaviours.
