Energy, utilities and resources

The world is shifting towards a more secure, resilient and efficient energy future. Traditional fossil fuels are increasingly complemented by a mix of diverse sources—solar, wind, hydrogen, nuclear and advanced fuels. Electric vehicles, smart grids and carbon capture technologies are changing how we power industries, cities and homes.

But progress brings complexity, such as ageing infrastructure and unpredictable costs. And the need for new investment models demands bold action.

Collaboration is key. Governments, businesses and communities working together to shape a new energy system: resilient, affordable and built for the future.

We help you navigate market changes, manage risk and capitalise on innovation. Move beyond legacy systems. Embrace renewables, digital innovation and circular economies. And fuel a more secure and adaptable energy future.

Taking the lead on sustainability

The race to net zero is accelerating. Climate change, resource scarcity and the global energy transition are driving major shifts across the industry. From decarbonisation to digitalisation, the coming years will redefine business models, investment priorities and regulatory landscapes.

Risks are growing. Pressure is mounting. The industry needs to act now to rethink how to source, store and supply energy—building resilience against climate volatility and resource depletion. We help you transform energy systems, invest in new technologies and embed sustainability into your operations.

Energy powers economies. People, businesses and industries rely on it. And as the energy landscape changes, trust will be critical. Customers, investors and regulators need confidence that energy providers can deliver reliable, affordable and future-ready solutions.

This shift demands collaboration between industries, policymakers and innovators. The transition to a low-carbon economy isn’t just about replacing old systems—it’s about rethinking how societies produce and consume energy. That takes leadership, investment and a willingness to break from the past.

Net zero isn’t a distant ambition—it’s an urgent priority. Advances in renewables, storage, and grid technologies are making decarbonisation possible, but the window for action is closing fast.

And the challenge isn’t just setting targets. We need to deliver them. Bringing emissions to zero will take more than ambition. It requires decisive action from energy, utilities and resources companies alongside governments, investors and technology leaders. The right strategies, investments and partnerships will determine who leads in the next energy era.

Key trends in the energy transition  

Sector convergence

The boundaries between industries are blurring. Sectors are reorganising into larger, intersecting domains—grouped by the value they provide to customers and economies. Rapid progress in AI, data and automation are reshaping supply chains. These shifts bring both risk and opportunity—as well as demanding new business models, partnerships and ways of thinking.
