How Businesses Cope with Energy Supply Issues in Hard Times
Energy constraints in China have affected businesses throughout the region as production scaled back with rolling shutdowns over the past several months. Together with geopolitics and ESG, it adds new challenges to the business. As companies look ahead to the traditional full resumption of production post CNY, what can they expect? How would they deal with the challenges?
During this webinar, our panel of experts from the consultancy, energy production, and finance sector will share their views of the latest developments along with an outlook for the future. This is an opportunity to hear views and insights from different industry leaders.
