While key players from government, industry and citizenry are collaborating to shape the energy transition, the world needs secure, reliable and affordable energy today. Fossil fuels provide over 80% of the world's energy and will play an important role, albeit in lower-carbon forms, for years to come.
At this event Mark Lashier, president and CEO of Phillips 66, shared his inside views on the energy future and what it means for Phillips 66’s business and workforce strategy. There has never been a more exciting time to carve a career in the energy industry and make an impact. He detailed how bright, innovative minds can come together to find solutions for secure, reliable energy while pursuing a lower-carbon future.
