Energy & Natural Resources

Only by doing the hard things right do we make big things happen. In today’s hyper-competitive and rapidly changing global energy industry, success demands the right combination of strategic thinking, flawless performance, and an innovation mindset. As climate change and shifting consumer preferences redefine the business-social compact, we help our clients invest with an eye to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies.

For decades, our energy consultants have delivered breakthrough solutions for clients in every sector of the industry. We bring integrated expertise that cuts across regions, functions, and capabilities – from the latest in digital tools and analytics to deep insights in consumer trends and cost structures. Our energy and natural resources expertise covers everything from post-merger integration to supply-chain optimization, cost transformation, and B2B go-to-market strategies. We can help you discover new ways to improve every aspect of your operations, to redefine your markets, and scale your innovations. 

We are committed to ambitious sustainability goals for our own firm, and we have a proven track record of helping companies harness the power of new technologies and practices to reduce their carbon footprint. We’ll help you work with customers and stakeholders to protect and expand your social license to operate in your communities. Our teams help utilities mitigate wildfire risks and natural gas companies move toward net-zero operations.

Energy and natural resources companies are under extraordinary pressure to be accountable to investors, regulators, and the public at large. Get the balance right and you can seize a once-in-generation chance to achieve breakthrough transformation. Get it wrong and you may face an existential crisis. You don’t have to do it alone. Let us show you how to make big things happen.
