The current geopolitical crises in the Middle East have reinforced the vulnerability of energy systems that remain exposed to fuel supply disruption, commodity price volatility, maritime chokepoints, and concentrated infrastructure. As a result, energy security has moved back to the center of policy, investment, and corporate decision-making. Consequently, energy security and energy resilience have become a strategic imperative for many businesses. Energy security, availability, and cost are topics that touch on many areas of business: sourcing, valuation, reporting, profitability, etc.
Subject
In this webcast, KPMG experts and a corporate representative explored the topic of energy security and resilience and its business implications from various angles.
- What is the business impact of energy security and cost? How can companies mitigate some of these impacts? For example: energy security ultimately depends on diversification; could this strengthen the strategic case for the energy transition?
- What roll-on effects of the energy crises do we observe? For example: oil and gas price rises have an impact on fertilizer prices. How do we see companies responding to more volatile energy prices?
- How does the energy crisis tie in with the growing demand for AI and its related energy needs?
- What policy responses do we expect to see, and how can companies prepare for and/or benefit from them?
