Global Industrial Sustainability and Energy Transition

Industrial Sustainability and Energy Transition Is Now and the Future

Why Should You Take Notice?

Globally, we are in a critical time of action on climate change. Sustainability and energy transition are now being woven into the core fabric of business strategies of industrial companies, particularly manufacturing, utility, and oil and gas organizations. Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) strategies are being defined and implemented to deal with climate change and address a host of new regulations, corporate disclosure, and financial investment requirements.

Critical Challenges Facing Three Key Market Segments

While companies across all markets are wrestling with sustainability and energy-related issues, industrial businesses are under immense scrutiny. Given the asset-heavy, energy-intense nature of industrial companies, it stands to reason.

Key Market Segments - Manufacturing, Utilities, Oil & Gas

The industrial pillars below—are at the center of global energy transition and sustainability efforts. When examining the challenges each faces, there are considerable similarities and differences. Additionally, there are dependencies across the three and even the potential for competitive conflict.

1. Manufacturing | Sustainability Must Be Unequivocally Quantifiable

Manufacturing (discrete, hybrid, and process) is under severe pressure from investors, communities, and legislation to improve sustainability while measuring quantifiable improvements. Certainly, it will incorporate most, if not all, digital transformation initiatives already underway or on the drawing board.

2. Utilities | Develop a Market Role That Sits on Solid Ground 

Utilities across the globe have been in energy transition for quite some time. The larger investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have been juggling a convergence of market pressures, from tighter margins and flat demand to renewable integration (both utility-scale and distributed across the grid) and catastrophic weather-related events.

3. Oil & Gas | Reinvention Is Key 

The Oil & Gas industry creates greenhouse gas emissions across their process lifecycles, from extraction and refinement through distribution and consumption. The industry has unique characteristics related to energy transition as the products and byproducts are ubiquitous across the globe.

 

How to Move Forward

Download Energy Transition and Industrial Sustainability ReportSustainability and energy transition challenges are quickly being added to the intense competitive and customer pressures driven by the adoption of a more digital economy. In the same way they approach transformation, companies should not stand still, though they certainly can choose to, at their own peril of course. If they do not, they will be forced to cede those markets to innovators who can.
