The findings, published by the We Mean Business Coalition, underscore a widening gap between corporate ambition and state infrastructure. While 90% of leaders expect their operations to be fully electrified by 2035, 72% report that current government policies remain dangerously sluggish. This disconnect carries tangible economic risks; 62% of respondents indicated they would consider relocating operations to countries that offer more robust support for renewable grid integration.
Global Executives Demand Faster Clean Energy Transition
Geopolitical instability has turned clean electrification from a climate goal into a survival strategy for the world's largest companies. A new survey of executives across 18 countries reveals that 91% view electrification as a critical pillar of energy security, with nearly eight in ten citing current global volatility as a catalyst for urgent change.
Executives are moving beyond environmental concerns, framing the shift as a matter of industrial competitiveness. Nearly 90% of those surveyed believe that transitioning to a renewables-based system will drive economic growth, while 88% argue that electrification is essential to maintaining a competitive edge. As G7 leaders convene in Evian to discuss economic resilience, the data serves as a stark warning: nations failing to modernize their power grids risk losing global investment to faster-moving, electrified economies.
