Energy and Extractives

Harnessing earth's resources toward a sustainable future for all

A global transition in how the economy is powered is under way, with a major push for clean, renewable energy and lower emissions.  

Given their critical role in the global economy, energy and extractives companies are an important part of this shift, and many are also reinventing themselves with transformative business models that meet demand while improving sustainability.    

The energy and extractives sectors have a powerful opportunity to contribute to sustainable development, integrating proper environmental, social, and governance (ESG) components into their operations. 

We've helped complete more than 300 projects for energy and extractives companies, helping them tackle challenges at the intersection of people and the environment by developing sustainable business strategies that:

  • Address climate change and the environment
  • Respect human rights
  • Advance equity and inclusion
  • Ensure a just transition that supports the well-being of workers and communities who have been the backbone of our economy.

$26T

Up to US$26 trillion in economic opportunities could be created by the transition to a net-zero GHG emissions economy in the next ten years. 

3.5B

About 3.5 billion people live in countries rich in oil, gas, or minerals.
