However, as balancing cost and commercial viability with ESG goals continues to pose a challenge, most investment increase will only be marginal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With access to finance being a challenge, Aggreko is raising the need for companies to lean on their supply chains to help meet the requirements of the energy transition in the timescales needed \u2013 all while balancing profitability with ESG goals.
