Executive Summary

This report provides strategy executives, operations managers, chief sustainability officers, digital technology providers and consultants with an understanding of the net zero, ESG and energy transition initiatives that are important to industrial firms in 2023. During September and October 2022, Verdantix conducted interviews on operational excellence topics with 301 directors and managers in operations, engineering, maintenance and process safety roles. The net zero, ESG and energy transition priorities questions formed part of a broader survey, which included questions on technology, budgets and investment (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2022: Operational Excellence Budgets, Priorities & Tech Preferences). Green electricity procurement, replacing aging equipment, and emissions and energy consumption reduction were the top three priorities noted for firms in 2023.
