      This year’s findings show what many in the energy sector already know: big changes are underway. CEOs are rethinking their approach to the energy transition and retraining teams to keep up with the rise of AI, to build a workforce that’s quicker, smarter, and ready for the future. Despite the ebbs and flows of sentiments, CEOs recognize that sustainability isn’t just a good to have element in strategy; it’s become non-negotiable, central to how companies operate. With AI and especially agentic AI’s potential to drive real operational gains and help companies reach their sustainability goals faster, the call for stronger governance and oversight will be more important than ever.
