Christof, along Jérôme Schmitt, Chairman of the OGCI Executive Committee, Neal Anderson, President at Wood Mackenzie, and Francesco La Camera, Director General at IRENA, discussed how energy companies are changing as they develop new business models to invest sustainably and responsibly and how collaboration between entities is playing an increasingly important role in the energy transition.
