Energy Risk Management: Best Practices for Aligning Your Financial, Operational, and Sustainability Goals

Posted
For many companies, energy costs account for up to 20% of operating costs, and leave companies exposed to commodity, regulatory, and weather-related risks. Even modest swings in energy costs can have significant impacts on your organization’s bottom line.

So how can your organization manage energy-related risk?

Join us on Wednesday, September 5, for a webinar on best practices in energy risk management. The discussion will help you identify key indicators that energy represents a material risk to your organization and provide examples and best practices to manage that risk.

During this session, we’ll review:

  • How to align risk responses with enterprise strategy
  • How renewable energy can hedge against commodity risk
  • Three case studies showing successful approaches and instruments for managing energy risk
