How has the hydrocarbon sector innovated in response to the collapse of crude oil prices since their 2008 peak? In what ways are major energy companies - that are traditionally focused on oil and gas – adapting to the disruptive change in the energy sector brought about by renewable energy and the demand for lower carbon fuels? And, in a globalized world, whose development has been – and remains – powered largely by carbon-based fuels, why doesn’t the general public have a better perception of the oil and gas sector?
The Corporate Leaders Series provides an opportunity for business leaders to discuss political, economic and social issues they consider important to businesses working in an international context.
