Recent political events and obvious environmental challenges have impacted energy sourcing, supply, and costs. The resulting ‘energy crisis’ is impacting all countries, industries, sectors, and societies across Europe.

Combined with imminent regulatory and reporting requirements from the European Commission, operationalizing sustainability ambitions has become an imperative. The EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) will affect about 40,000 more companies starting in 2024, as well as tightening reporting requirements for the 11,000 companies already affected by the regulation. Meanwhile, energy costs in the EU have increased by more than 50% in recent months raising concern for financial investors, governments, and end customers.
