Join us for the latest CFO Connect event on Thursday, 25th June, with Alice Stevens from Forvis Mazars as we explore the real commercial impact of sustainability for modern businesses.
With increasing economic pressure, rising energy costs, and growing stakeholder expectations, sustainability is becoming a key strategic consideration for finance leaders — not just an environmental conversation, but a core financial priority.
From energy bill to investment case: how CFOs can turn energy volatility into opportunity
With gas prices rising 40% between February and May 2026, and Solar PV costs down 87% (2010–2024), the energy conversation has fundamentally changed. Forvis Mazars will explore why green energy is increasingly stacking up as a compelling financial decision for CFOs.
This session will focus on how businesses can identify practical opportunities to improve operational efficiency, reduce financial risk, and generate long-term value through smarter sustainability initiatives — particularly in the context of energy.
High-level agenda:
- Geopolitics, rising gas prices and OPEX: understanding energy bills as a growing risk exposure
- Beyond sustainability: positioning solar as an investment with measurable financial returns
- Building the investment case: equipping CFOs with the financial metrics to support decision-making
Focused on real-world application rather than theory, the discussion will provide actionable insight for CFOs, FDs, and business leaders looking to make commercially sound sustainability decisions.
