Conflict in the Middle East: Europe’s Energy Security - May 19, 2026 - EY Global

#MiddleEast #Oil #Gas Global chokepoints, Europe’s energy exposure and what prolonged disruption means for oil and gas.

In this episode of Geostrategy in Action, we examine how the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is reshaping global oil and gas markets, and what business leaders in Europe need to watch as disruption persists.

Famke Krumbmüller, EY Parthenon EMEIA Geostrategy Leader, is joined by Olga Beloglazova, EY Parthenon CESA Energy Center Leader, to unpack how the conflict is affecting energy supply chains, prices and strategic dependencies across continents.

They explore why this crisis is fundamentally different from Europe’s previous energy shocks, how the Strait of Hormuz has emerged as a critical global chokepoint, and why pressure is building not through a full supply collapse, but through tightening product markets—particularly jet fuel, LNG and refined products. They also examine the growing reliance on US energy supplies, the limits of substitution, and why scenario driven planning is essential in an environment of sustained uncertainty.

Key topics covered:

• Why this crisis represents exposure to a global energy chokepoint rather than a single supplier

• The most vulnerable energy products for Europe, including oil, jet fuel and LNG

• How substitution across energy markets is possible but at higher cost and complexity

• Europe’s rising dependence on US energy supplies and what that means for resilience

• How duration of disruption shapes recovery timelines and embeds lasting risk premiums

Watch this episode for insight into how prolonged geopolitical disruption is affecting oil and gas markets, what structural consequences may follow for Europe’s energy system, and how businesses can strengthen resilience through scenario planning and geostrategy.

How Blue Earth Capital built a finance function at speed - April 17, 2026 - EY Global

How Blue Earth Capital scaled finance at speed to support growth and impact. Learn more: https://www.ey.com/en_gl/services/managed-services

Blue Earth Capital is a global impact investment firm that, in 2022, transitioned from operating with support from Partners Group to an independent operating structure. As the firm continued to scale, it needed to build a resilient, compliant finance function at speed, without diverting focus from its core mission of delivering environmental and social impact.

In this video, Blue Earth Capital shares how it built a scalable finance function in less than six months, drawing on standardized processes, pre configured technology and managed services support. The result is a finance operating model that supports growth, delivers reliable reporting and regulatory compliance, and enables leadership to focus on long term value creation and impact.

The case study highlights how a flexible managed services approach can help fast growing investment firms and carve outs establish strong finance foundations, scale capacity as needed, and maintain transparency and control across jurisdictions.
