This survey of more than 2,800 executives from a broad range of industries shines a light on the biggest challenges and opportunities facing industry leaders over the next 12 months as they plan and execute their decarbonisation strategies.
The overall results indicate there’s a positive sentiment among executives that their businesses will achieve net-
zero operations by 2050. The outlier is the industrials sector, where a quarter of respondents had doubts over whether this industry would be able to cut emissions to zero by 2050.
Beyond governments, the survey found energy companies are seen as having a high or very high impact on the energy transition by almost 89 percent of respondents, but nearly 81 percent placed emphasis on the financial sector to drive the process.
The question of how we fund a just energy transition is top of mind for executives and strategies on how to couple their environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities with this could lead to some innovative solutions.
I’d be delighted to speak to you about the results and potential impact for your business in more detail.
