Gaining the competitive advantage: Energy transition and the manufacturing and industrials sector

The manufacturing and industrials sector – and primarily steel, cement, chemicals, light manufacturing, aluminum, and pulp and paper – makes up nearly 40 percent of current global energy consumption, largely through fossil fuels and a significant portion of the world’s CO2 emissions.

Fortunately, there are a variety of commercial actions – acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, investments – that organizations can take to advance their sustainability goals. This article will review these options and the current landscape while offering important guidance to executives looking to be on the leading edge of the energy transition.
