A lot can change in 2 years. We first ran our annual research programme in 2017 and environmental responsibility was not high on the corporate agenda. Now, as revealed by our most recent survey, it certainly is.

We researched over 1,500 businesses and energy decision-makers in large organisations across 10 countries in 7 sectors to understand the experience businesses are having, how they are adapting to these changes and the changing role of energy. Our new Distributed Energy Future Trends report is the outcome of that research.
