of organizations investing in at least six clean sources of revenue.<\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em>However, 37% have slowed or suspended sustainability investments and initiatives due to COVID-19.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paris, October 5, 2020 \u2013 <\/strong><strong>Energy and utilities companies with advanced sustainability<\/strong><a href=\"#_ftn1\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><strong> initiatives earn more revenue, improve brand and company valuations, and are perceived positively by investors, regulators and clients, according to a new report from the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/research-institute\/\"><strong>Capgemini Research Institute<\/strong><\/a><strong>, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/research\/the-sustainability-advantage\/\"><em>Powering Sustainability: Why energy and utilities companies need to view sustainability as an opportunity<\/em><\/a><\/strong><strong><em>\u201d<\/em><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong><strong>The report also found that the sector is diversifying into clean sources of revenue, however energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) is currently contributing 73% of all emissions globally<\/strong><a href=\"#_ftn2\"><strong>[2]<\/strong><\/a><strong>, and more needs to be done for companies to become sustainable to also help the whole economy to mitigate the climate risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Green packages (European Green Deal for instance) and other carbon related regulatory deadlines looming, failure to act is becoming expensive. In the face of this, large organizations are leading the way towards sustainability, declaring clear and ambitious goals for reducing or eliminating carbon from their company\u2019s value chain, with European major Utilities showing the way. Capgemini surveyed 600 senior industry executives across 300 organizations and found that energy and utilities companies are moving from viewing sustainability as a threat to seeing it as a \u2018raison d\u2019\u00eatre\u2019 as well as an opportunity, and are moving fast securing a \u201clicense to operate<a href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a>\u201d to playing a critical role in transitioning to clean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With sustainability at the core of operations, close to two-thirds (64%) of organizations say that they have generated a revenue increase from sustainable operations, with more than half of organizations investing in at least six clean sources of revenue, including green hydrogen (59%). Other benefits of these sustainable investments include enhanced brand value through to positive environment, social, and governance (ESG) perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barriers to progress remain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this progress, energy and utilities organizations still struggle to convert intention into reality. While 57% said they had a mature approach \u2013 meaning sustainability initiatives deployed widely throughout the organization and to the benefit of their clients in terms of environmental responsibility. This relatively strong maturity does not reflect in other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to reducing emissions, the report reveals that less than half of organizations (42%) have mature practices in place for reducing Scope 1 emissions<a href=\"#_ftn4\">[4]<\/a>, and only 3% having mature practices for tackling Scope 3<a href=\"#_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing COVID-19 crisis represents another challenge. While overall the pandemic has caused the global decline of CO2 emissions (of 2.4 Gt) at the fastest rate since 2010, they need to decline another 60% to ensure that, by 2050, temperature rises are kept below 1.5 to 2\u00b0C of pre-industrial levels. As a result of COVID-19, 37% of survey participants said they have slowed the pace of sustainability investments considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the context of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming, the report found that just 6% of energy and utilities organizations are currently on track to meet these targets. And three in five organizations say that they will either be unable to meet or are unsure whether they will meet the Paris Agreement targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWhile progress has been made in the sector, it is clear that energy and utilities organizations need to do more to curb the harmful impacts of climate change and accelerate their sustainability programs,\u201d<\/em> said Philippe Vi\u00e9, Global Head of the Energy and Utilities sector at Capgemini, <em>\u201cSetting an ambitious strategy and vision is one thing \u2013 but delivering against it is a major challenge, notably on emissions \u2013 scope 3. To prepare for the future, organizations need to recognize that for true impact and change, they must upgrade their models to meet the demands of a sustainable world and seize the full potential of technologies to deliver on ambitious targets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report highlights a series of key recommendations for energy and utilities organizations to prepare for a sustainable future. Organizations need to begin by radically transforming their business models by progressively curtailing capital investments in fossil-fuel businesses for growth, creating a roadmap to phase out existing emissions-intensive assets, and diverting capital into renewables and low-emissions operations. They also need to maximize the use of and investment in renewables, use technology to accelerate the sustainability journey, offer low emissions\/clean energy solutions to customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions and scale social inclusion and economic sustainability efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reaching ambitious sustainability goals, technology has proven useful: a combination of deep and digital technologies like IoT, automation, data analytics, hydrogen and storage technologies, electrification of uses \u2013 as well as Artificial Intelligence\/Machine Learning \u2013 are the top-ranked technologies that energy and utility companies are investing in. More than half (55%) of companies have collaborated with established technology firms to bring new ideas and practices to their sustainability agenda. Yet despite these potential benefits, the extent to which global organizations have achieved scale with tech-related use cases is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philippe Vi\u00e9 concludes: \u201c<em>In the \u2018decade of delivery\u2019, aiming low is a mistake, given the huge transformation required to meet the Paris Agreement targets, and the EU player mandate on Energy Transition. For energy and utilities organizations, the message is simple: the scale of the challenge is huge and continues to grow further. Companies that do not act with urgency face loss of revenue, alienated investors, and heightened risk of losing their social license to operate. Incumbents need to take bold steps now: setting out a clear path to sustainability, with well-defined goals and determined action. The cost of inaction is huge, while the right steps can future-proof companies\u2019 business models for decades.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read a full copy of the report and its recommendations, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/research\/the-sustainability-advantage\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/us-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/CRI-report_Sustainablity-in-EUC_webpreview-2.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-471352\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capgemini conducted a survey of 600 executives across 300 organizations in 17 countries\/regions.
