Reports

EIC Survive and Thrive V Insight Report 2021

Now in its fifth year, the highly acclaimed EIC Survive and Thrive Insight Report surveyed more than 60 energy supply chain businesses and confirmed that, for the second year running, the most popular growth strategy in challenging markets was to move away from oil and gas and into other areas in order to ‘survive’.

With governments globally pursuing net-zero policies, but little being done to help the energy sector diversify into green energy markets, the report once again showed that three-quarters of companies that have diversified have preferred to move out of energy completely.

Read the inspiring case studies of all 61 participating EIC member companies and learn about the growth strategies used to survive and thrive in the challenging market conditions of 2020. Key findings and outcomes for industry and government can be found in the report, with a focus on how to increase exports, while also capitalising on the opportunities within the energy transition.

We also deep dive on key topics and issues from the past 12 months, including: whether COVID-19 was a catalyst for permanent change in the energy sector; resilience being the name of the game for supply chain companies; what energy transition means; and the truth behind diversification when it comes to organisations’ core business.
