Flying Blind: Navigating Clean Energy Procurement Amidst Uncertainty

How can companies keep Scope 2 goals and strategy moving as standards evolve and energy demand, costs, and emissions rise? What are corporate buyers actually changing, and which moves make sense before the rules settle?

You’ll hear from energy advisors who see these choices across many corporate clients, and leave with a practical picture of what corporate sustainability managers can and should do while standards move.
