Resilience in energy and infrastructure

22 June 2026

Tags Energy & infrastructure C-suite insights

Energy and infrastructure leaders are navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain global environment, where geopolitical tensions, market volatility and resource constraints are reshaping strategic priorities. As a result, security of supply is emerging as a central focus, becoming a critical foundation for economic resilience and long-term growth.

Mathieu Mougard and Philippe Bozier, Partners, explain that in today’s environment, leaders are balancing competing pressures, from ensuring the physical security of assets and the stability of supply chains to maintaining profitability in uncertain markets. While sustainability remains firmly on the agenda, particularly in Europe, there is a noticeable shift towards margin optimisation and risk mitigation. International expansion continues, but in a more selective and cautious way, with organisations prioritising familiar and predictable markets. In a sector defined by long-term investment cycles, the ability to anticipate change, strengthen investment readiness and build adaptability has become essential to navigating ongoing volatility.

Watch the latest interview in our C‑suite expert insights series to discover how energy and infrastructure leaders are strengthening resilience, rethinking growth strategies and adapting to an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.
