Energy Sustainability
Global multi-national corporate entities dealing in energy, electric-power and gas companies are increasing vulnerable to cyber and physical attacks, due to a number of factors. However, at Intuitive Synergies, we provide a structured approach that applies communication, organizational, and process frameworks that will significantly reduce cyber and related risks to our clients.
Our professional observation is that the energy sector is highly vulnerable to contemporary cyberthreats, mainly from nation state- seeking to cause security and economic manipulation; hackers and cybercriminals who understand the economic value represented by stealing into this sector; and political activists who seek to register political positions and opposition towards these entities and to promote their own agenda.
Energy companies also have an expansive physical footprint that basically covers a global operation, thus the potential for physical attack at any point of vulnerability at any point in time cannot be easily written off.
Additionally, there are loopholes and points of vulnerabilities between physical and cyber infrastructure which make these companies vulnerable to exploitation, including billing fraud, physical fraud, technological fraud. Risk also increases with greater use of start-up-developed specialized connected devices across the value chain for innovative capabilities, given the resource limitations of smaller companies.
Food Resilience
About three-quarters of the world’s impoverished population depends on agriculture for a living, and low-income families on every continent struggle with accessing nutritious food. The challenge is clear: the world needs to sustainably nourish a global population that will grow from 7 billion today to more than 9 billion people by 2050.
Increasing global food security in the midst of climate change also means the right crops must be grown in the most productive places. Food must also move from places of abundance to places of scarcity. Today, about 20 percent of food crosses borders. That percentage will need to increase in the decades ahead.
What all this means is that now more than ever, there are increasing vulnerabilties in the entire chain of the agri ecosystem.

Environmental Governance
At Intuitive, we fully recognize the threats posed by global climate change and the ever more than ever heightened demands humanity makes on Mother Nature and our natural environment. Mankind also actively plays a substantial role in the release of harmful greenhouse gases that continue to cause irreparable damage to our environment.
With the principal aim to protect preserve and sustain our natural environment, global leadership agencies ha formulated numerous polices and obligations which commercial entities across all industries have to adhere to. And for good reason. Though what this also means is that not every entity has a in-house capability and capacity to ensure complete compliance to the necessary and relevant protocols.
This is where we at Intuitive come in; to bridge the gap in understanding and application to the policies of the day with regard to environmental protection and sustainability. We have the dedicated in-house capabilities and expertise to advise our clients and engage in implementation and augmenting in-house resources to meet industry standards.
We are committed to complying with all relevant environmental and energy legislation in every aspect of our company and will strive to meet best practice in non-regulated areas. We will ensure full compliance all international obligations under environmental and energy legislation and will endeavour to avoid or minimise any harm caused to the natural environment. We will ensure that our clients meet best practices in non-regulated areas, integrating climate change, resource use and biodiversity considerations.
Intuitive, on behalf of our clients, will plan, prepare and implement and resource formal environmental management systems across all their commercial activities. We are also fully-positioned to manage their activities to minimise the risk of pollution and contamination. We will also monitor and calibrate performance, using appropriate metrics and key performance indicators, on a regular basis to ascertain targets are met and commitments honoured.
We are committed to communicating effectively both internally and externally on all our clients’ environmental issues, to contribute towards a culture of environmental awareness within their respective entities holistically. Additionally, we are fully invested in continuous improvement in the performance and management of our environmental management systems, working with our customers, communities and partners.
