“Energy and Environmental Sustainability”
The 20th MeetUp brings fresh insights on energy efficiency and the role of energy professionals in managing Sustainability challenges and utilizing opportunities.
Unstable fuel prices, greenhouse gas emissions, energy security, internal strategic priorities and stakeholder involvement, create enormous pressures on companies to develop or adjust their strategy and corporate goals to meet more sustainable, low carbon, environmentally friendly innovations/technologies and energy efficient solutions. Sustainable economic development goes hand in hand with energy and environmental sustainability. Private and public sector need to prioritise internal energy efficiency, as well as manage environmental impacts arising from their operations. Improving energy efficiency, addressing environmental concerns and energy security are on top of the agenda of energy professionals who are looking constantly for ways to power economic activity and business advancements with less energy.
The recent Energy Barometer survey conducted on Energy Institute members showcased the concern of energy experts on constantly changing environmental policies and how they prefer more predictability on government actions.
The MeetUp will focus on the role of energy professionals on climate change and environmental sustainability and provide a broad overview of the challenges energy professionals are facing currently. Our speakers will discuss trends and point out how to transform business model and energy systems to meet stakeholder expectations in alignment with global movements including the SDGs.
