OUR VISION

ALLY is a force for good™

OUR MISSION

ALLY accelerates connections, careers and skills for an equitable energy transition.  

We humanize energy

We give professionals a community to find everything they need to be successful in their careers.  We give them a place to share stories, find career advice, jobs, publish insights, and network with colleagues in an advertising-free community. (No, joke.)

Energy is the most overlooked career on Mother Earth. We work with organizations that are committed to diversity and inclusion, providing them a framework to become a leader in ESG, attract top talent, build amazing culture and retain high performers. (We have a 95% client retention rate so you know we’re doing something right?)

We believe it all matters.

To get big challenges like energy poverty and climate change right, we work across all forms of energy and believe it’s necessary to address the intersections of society : gender, ethnicity, generation, neurodiversity, veterans, and other underrepresented talent pools. (This is heavy stuff and we need all hands on deck.)
