People expect more from our energy. Be the difference that delivers.
Trust in Australia’s energy sector is lower than any other, having dropped 10 points since last year. Less than 25% of people now believe the energy market is acting in their best interests.
A shared value approach can help you turn the tide, rebuilding trust, retaining and gaining customers, boosting cross-sector partnerships or paving the way for social licence that sees communities championing your arrival.
Join like-minded innovators as we explore the energy sector’s current reinvention and how shared value can help us find a way forward. Register now
