The world faces an urgent challenge. How does it tackle climate change and move to a net-zero emissions energy system while also meeting the growing demand for energy? The next decade will be shaped by 2 megatrends – the Energy Transition and Digitalisation. Both are expected to have a profound impact on the way everyone lives their lives. Innovative new technologies, including digital technologies and AI have a critical role to play in helping the world reduce our carbon footprint and achieve a net-zero emissions future.

In this session, we will explore how Shell, a 116-year-old Energy company, is working towards its target to become a net-zero emissions Energy Business by 2050. Digital technology is already transforming the way we manage the energy system day-to-day by optimizing asset performance, reducing our CO2 footprint, digitizing the customer experience, and making the transition from conventional oil & gas to renewable energy sources.

The Why: Digitalization and Sustainability are imperatives to all companies and require us to think differently and embrace the pace of technology change. While Innovation is key, scaling and replication of solutions across the enterprise is what drives bottom-line business value. Key success factors include creating an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone feels valued, and where continuous learning and experimentation is encouraged.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how to develop a Net-Zero strategy that is underpinned by Data & Analytics
  • Discover use cases of how Shell is embedding digitalization across all its businesses
  • How to utilize DE&I and Culture to accelerate the energy transition

This session is for… everyone who wants to learn how to embrace digitalization and make it a core part of their Business strategy.
