Corporate and marketing events provide a perfect environment for those looking to engage and connect. As a sponsor, you can network, learn about current industry trends, and hear from key experts.

Last year, the European Commission conducted a thorough investigation of EU companies. To determine whether businesses' claims about their sustainability practices were misleading, the National Consumer Protection Agency screened for greenwashing. The EU report indicates that "in 42% of cases, the environmental claims were exaggerated, false or deceptive and could potentially qualify as unfair commercial practices under EU rules". The number of companies that have been accused of greenwashing is staggering. Yet, even experienced marketers can unintentionally mislead the public.

As the prices of fossil fuels rise and Europe moves forward in its efforts to reduce carbon emissions, nuclear power is at the center of the renewable energy debate. Since Brussels has pledged to fund sustainability efforts, the question of whether nuclear energy is green or not remains relevant. Certainly, incorporating nuclear energy into the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities would allow private business owners, political leaders, and energy companies to meet increasingly high environmental standards. However, not all countries are convinced that nuclear power is a sufficient carbon-free alternative to the ongoing energy crisis.

The EU REACH is the most important regulatory framework governing chemicals in Europe. REACH, which stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, is an effort by the European Union to enhance its environmental and human health protection. Companies must keep up with the latest chemical production guidelines in order to avoid legal risks, operate in compliance with regional laws, and remain competitive.

There is no doubt that the European power market has been through a period of transition over the past decade. Changes in environmental policies, new technologies, and rapidly rising fossil fuel prices have altered the energy scene around the globe. As the industry sees shifts in patterns, companies need to keep their eyes peeled for certain long-term trends to avoid volatility. The time to refocus is now, so make sure you don't neglect your long-term planning by looking at these 5 long-term trends in the European power market.
