Welcome to the fourth EIC Newspaper, in which I am proud to launch the 2025 edition of the EIC Survive & Thrive Insight Report, now in its ninth year. The world’s largest energy supply chain research project, Survive & Thrive spotlights 140 case studies from 138 EIC members this year, detailing and promoting their inspiring success stories, and reflecting on why some growth strategies dominate and others are sidelined in today’s challenging markets. All 140 stories are also entered automatically into EIC’s World Energy Supply Chain Awards (WESCA) later in 2025, the world’s largest energy awards programme. There is no higher honour. Survive & Thrive is a highly recommended read, and I wish all award finalists the best of luck – as everyone wants to win a WESCA!
