Inside this issue

Welcome to the August 2026 edition of Inside Energy.
We reach an important milestone with the release of the 10th edition of our Survive & Thrive Insight Report. What started in 2016 analysing 26 UK businesses has grown into a global initiative tracking 136 supply chain companies across Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas. The findings show an industry growing strongly while remaining selective about where it takes risks. To mark a decade of tracking supply chain strategies, our World Energy Supply Chain Awards (WESCA) are expanding this year with new ceremonies in Berlin and Milan alongside our established host cities.
