The Data Dilemma

Executive Summary Effective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions strategies help companies lower their carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and comply with environmental regulations which, in turn, can enhance their brand reputation. Most companies have process-driven GHG emissions goals; failure to meet GHG emissions goals include negative impact on stakeholder confidence and brand reputation. In October 2024, GE Vernova commissioned Forrester Consulting to explore how the energy sector is prioritizing GHG emissions initiatives. We surveyed 279 global respondents at energy, heavy industrial, chemicals, oil and gas, power generation, and mining and material companies and found that while managing GHG emissions is a high priority, respondents struggle with the data management needed to do so successfully.
