UK Government Energy Targets Lack Clarity

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:53:16 +0000

Sentiment from traditional and social media shows energy issues under the spotlight according to corporate reputation analysis specialist Alva in its daily Alva Energy & Utilities In Sight service:

Industry and climate change organisations have criticised government plans on reducing emissions as ‘too vague’
July’s review of traditional and social media also identified that future private sector investment in the programme is dependent on Ministers developing a more rigorous policy framework
Carbon emissions were also high on the issues agenda following the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s £34m cut on low carbon and renewable energy initiatives
Energy prices were also in the spotlight following British Gas’ announcement of a doubling of profits, but warning of imminent price increases due to the rising cost of wholesale gas
Ofgem’s report showing 20% of UK households are in debt to energy suppliers raises the spectre of fuel poverty once more and this looks set to be the dominant reputational risk issue for energy companies in the coming months

Automotive Sector Turns A Corner?

Chinese growth offsets poor European performance but overcapacity risk looms according to corporate reputation analysis specialist Alva in its daily Alva Automotive In Sight service:

A line has been drawn under recent safety concerns at Toyota as more than 25% of coverage focused on sales figures compared to less than 20% on safety issues
Brand issues grew in importance this month as manufacturers turned to social media in their marketing mix
Ford unveiled pricing for its 2011 Explorer
Ford’s decision to risk market share for margins by not offering sales incentives also helped strengthen the quality perception of its brand
Although public interest in safety stories has waned (7^th place – 8%) Toyota still dominates the automotive issues agenda thanks to ongoing investigations into its safety record
Looking forward, Alva said that financial results will continue to dominate news in August
However, electric vehicles are also likely to increase in prominence following the government backing of incentives for the technology and the release of pricing for GM’s Chevrolet Volt
