A new definition of security

The war in Ukraine and the recent crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly affected the way we view both economic and energy security today. Many players are having to redefine their goals and flexibly change their plans or operational ways of doing business. We are helping them make these strategic decisions and advising them on how to proceed in this challenging time to protect and grow their businesses.
