Practical Perspectives for Energy & Sustainability Leaders
Connected Impact
Energy and sustainability leaders are operating in a more connected, and less predictable, environment than ever before. Volatile markets, regulatory pressure, and rising performance expectations are forcing organizations to rethink how enterprise energy strategy is developed and executed.
Connected Impact is a perspective series from Trio, designed to build shared understanding across energy, procurement, and sustainability leaders navigating risk, execution, and change in complex organizations.
Connected Impact will explore themes such as:
- Energy market volatility: Preparing for structural, not temporary, disruption
- Integrated energy & sustainability decisions: Reducing risk created by siloed teams and misaligned objectives
- Risk management: Strengthening decisions against changing conditions
- Procurement strategy: Evolving beyond static sourcing models
- Regulatory acceleration: Translating policy into executable strategy
- Decarbonization execution: Aligning ambition with operational reality
- Supplier transitions: Managing change without business interruption
- Cost control & forecasting: Improving visibility in unpredictable markets

Energy Risk
Energy Risk Isn't Just About Price Anymore
Over the past year, global energy markets shifted not because of a single disruption, but because of the interaction between geopolitics, extreme weather, and policy acceleration - creating second-order impacts across regions, suppliers, and contracts.
For leadership teams, the question is no longer simply:
"Is this competitive?"
It is:
"Will this decision remain resilient if conditions change?"
This perspective examines how energy risk is evolving, and how organizations are strengthening their energy risk management strategy to protect continuity, credibility, and operational control within an increasingly interconnected global market.

Trusted by Global Organizations
Across our work, we see organizations reduce exposure not by reacting faster – but by reassessing assumptions and applying disciplined execution.
Since initiating our transition to Trio, I’ve been highly impressed by the level of customization in their energy strategies and their consistent responsiveness and collaboration.

Trio has been huge when it comes to education and support. We partner with Trio so that our suppliers are getting the best customer service possible.

We have a small team in-house that works on our on-site generation projects, but we can’t do it all. Trio is the bridge that GM was looking for to source large-scale renewable energy for our facilities.

The Trio Perspective
Across our work with global organizations, we see that leaders reduce exposure not by reacting faster — but by aligning energy, procurement, and sustainability decisions before misalignment becomes risk.
When these teams operate on separate assumptions, volatility amplifies the damage: mispriced risk, missed decarbonization targets, and execution failure when markets or regulations shift.
Our perspective sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. We help organizations align decisions across functions so energy actions translate into enterprise impact – even when markets are unpredictable.
