WELCOME TO CARBON MANAGEMENT & ESG STRATEGIES

State of Sustainability
As sustainability gets staked into the global energy agenda, energy companies continue to face the occasional curveballs from investors, market volatility and changing regulations. This comes as new trends emerge worldwide and more incentives become available, transforming the sector to meet lower-carbon energy needs.

What the World Will Look Like in 2030 and 2050
In the effort to set carbon reduction and other sustainability targets, we cannot lose sight of what we are trying to accomplish collectively: a more sustainable economy and a healthier world not only for ourselves but for future generations. What should businesses look like and operate in 2050? What kind of regulatory and reporting environment should be put in place? How will companies, financial markets, consumers, employees, and communities align to advance sustainability? How will R&D and innovation drive us forward? To be ready for the 2050 world, what must we achieve and put in place by 2030? And what must we do now?
