Anticipating/Planning the Energy Mix for 2050

This conference offers a concrete and strategic perspective on the ongoing transformations in the business world in response to the energy transition. Titled “Less and Better,” it draws on field experience gained from working with companies engaged in reducing their carbon footprint and adapting to a new energy context.

From these engagements, several observations emerge: the energy transition is not limited to technological substitution or optimization of existing systems. It requires a fundamental rethinking of production models, value chains, and even the very ways energy is used. For businesses, this means redefining performance through the lenses of sobriety, efficiency, and resilience.

The conference thus addresses the key challenges identified through these initiatives. For many companies, the energy transition represents a systemic transformation that remains difficult to decode: traditional benchmarks are shifting, priorities are evolving, and future pathways remain uncertain. In this context, several tensions arise, including trade-offs between investments, innovation, regulatory constraints, and the new expectations of customers and talent.

This presentation provides an overview of the levers of action already deployed on the ground and outlines possible trajectories for integrating the principles of “less and better” into corporate energy strategies starting today.
