The energy transition is a pathway toward transformation of the energy sector from fossil-based to a low-carbon economy. Decarbonisation of the energy sector requires urgent action on a global scale, and while we are in the midst of an industrial revolution that is shaking up the energy industry and will disrupt other sectors as well, such as transportation, further action is needed to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. The European Union Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to the first event of the Energize your Autumn Series. Join us on 11th September and hear about the efforts that companies can make to catalyse further decarbonisation efforts.

If you are breached and your case goes to litigation, you will most probably be asked to demonstrate that you had controls in place. Authorities will ask a set of questions that help companies find out whether the controls were reasonable. These questions are similar to information security risk assessments; they both try to balance the likelihood and impact of potential cyber threats.
During this presentation, the speakers will explain how to conduct risk assessments that prepare you to answer the questions that authorities may ask you, before you need to be asked.
