Optimising operations to advance decarbonisation: a digital and cultural shift

The operating environment for energy-related stakeholders is rapidly evolving, with increasing pressure for transparency and accountability around emissions, sustainability metrics, and net-zero progress. By adopting a digital-first mindset, that leverages data analytics and emerging technologies, and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, organisations can optimise operations for decarbonisation and contribute to a sustainable future. However, there are challenges in leveraging operational excellence including establishing accurate emissions baselines, accounting for value chain emissions, aligning incentives, and engaging the entire organisation in decarbonisation efforts. Overcoming these challenges requires companies to take a holistic, collaborative approach that embeds decarbonisation into their core operating model and gives it the same importance as improving efficiencies and reducing costs.
