Making Digital Tangible: Dig Deeper on Performance, Value and Risk
The energy transition is the underlying challenge facing the sector as firms grapple with decarbonisation and increasingly ambitious emission targets.
Natural resources firms will also find increasing difficulties retaining and retraining existing talent; while facing significant headwinds to attract new and young talent.
Access to capital, thanks to divestment pressures, will be a growing concern; while insurers – particularly in Europe – are withdrawing capacity from more carbon-intensive segments of the industry.
Finally, digitalisation will form an integral part of the energy transition, bringing with it both opportunities and risks. Firms will need to temper their operational transformation with heightened exposures to cyber risk.
