On 13 May 2026, Genesis hosted an exclusive industry roundtable focused on ESG leadership on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). Hosted at the Aberdeen office and organised by our Environmental & Advisory Solutions Practice, the session brought together over 45 senior industry leaders, clients, and partners for an engaging morning of discussion, followed by networking over lunch.
The roundtable was held under Chatham House rules and provided a trusted platform for open dialogue on the risks, challenges, and emerging opportunities in ESG across the evolving energy landscape.
The event featured insightful contributions from a distinguished panel of speakers representing Genesis, Technip Energies, CMS Law, and CNOOC.
Key topics covered included:
- The state of ESG in 2026
- Climate risk: Scope 3 challenges, including practical approaches, lessons learned and best practices
- UK Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and emerging opportunities in the energy transition
- Due diligence and litigation risks, with a focus on increased legal scrutiny of climate-related assessments
The discussions highlighted the growing complexity of ESG requirements and the need for organisations to turn these challenges into strategic advantages. Participants exchanged perspectives on managing risk, navigating regulatory expectations, and capitalising on new market opportunities, particularly in areas such as lifecycle emissions and SAF.
The roundtable also provided valuable networking opportunities, enabling attendees to strengthen relationships, share experiences, and explore collaborations in a highly interactive setting.
Genesis extends its sincere thanks to all speakers and participants for their valuable contributions. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and supporting the industry in driving forward effective, practical ESG strategies.
Stay tuned for more updates and future events as we work together to create a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
