In today’s rapidly evolving energy landscape, fostering a robust Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) culture has shifted from a regulatory necessity to a strategic imperative. As operators, suppliers, regulators and investors navigate through the complexities of the energy transition, they face new exposures and operational challenges that demand an adaptative and forward-thinking approach to HSE management. This Strategic Executive panel will feature a broad range of leaders across the energy and technology sectors, as well as prominent industry regulators. The panel will explore the critical role of executive leadership and cross-sector collaboration in transforming organizational cultures, while ensuring that safety, environmental stewardship and sustainability are embedded at the heart of corporate strategies.

Attendees will gain insights into the evolving responsibilities of leadership in establishing proactive assurance mechanisms, embedding risk management into growth strategies, and developing advanced technologies and AI to promote workforce well-being and safeguard long-term value.

Attendees Insights:

• The role of leaders in influencing organizational HSE priorities and long-term resilience
• Practical strategies for integrating HSE culture within evolving energy systems and innovative AI technologies
• Ensuring robust governance frameworks to shape HSE policy and practice
• Balancing shareholder expectations with HSE imperatives, especially in a low-carbon future
• The symbiotic relationship between financial performance and a strong HSE culture

Many of the climate technologies needed to deliver decarbonisation targets already exist, but the path to scalability faces bottlenecks on multiple fronts including critical minerals supply, manufacturing capacity, skills and infrastructure. In addition to incentivising policy measures, like those included in the European Green Deal and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, energy companies have opportunities to accelerate scalability and the commercial viability across renewables, nuclear, and storage to meet energy transition targets.

In this Action Session, we will examine the scalability of technologies needed to drive the energy transition. We will hear from industry experts on what the best innovative solutions are and what investment and capital is needed to scale them.
