growing global population.

9
00:00:26,345 --> 00:00:29,065
As the energy
transition gathers pace,

10
00:00:29,065 --> 00:00:32,790
achieving goal will require
unprecedented cooperation among

11
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:35,670
societies, industries
and governments.

12
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,270
It will also require shifts in
the way the world produces and

13
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:40,630
uses energy.

14
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:44,485
Our aspiration is to help you
as our customer navigate the

15
00:00:44,485 --> 00:00:48,005
challenges ahead and thrive
through the energy transition.
