The strategic divide between differing corporate responses to the energy transition is slow to narrow, even as firms across the industry spectrum roll out new low-carbon plans, targets and spending. The latest results of our Transition Strategy Index – expanded to cover 29 major oil and gas companies – show how companies are taking action to confront transition risks but remain far apart in their approaches. The Index analyses and assesses how companies are positioning for the energy transition – and which are most exposed to the challenges of accelerating global industry change. Attention is turning from formation of strategies to implementation efforts, with rising scrutiny of both European Majors’ bold transformational plans, and of other firms following more modest adaptation pathways. Companies’ financial resilience, eroded by Covid-19, is set to recover, and will help companies deliver on plans.
