"Companies and governments around the world are high on the list of priorities to solve the challenges of sustainability and reducing pollution, to ensure that the society of the future is a truly "green" one. An extremely important pillar here is the perception of the end user, who notices any progress made in this area", says the company.
At the same time, over 80% of Romanians believe that renewable energy is very important or quite important for the sustainability of the economy in the years to come, in the context where over 70% draw attention that pollution is a major problem in Romania, while over 25% consider pollution to be a rather important problem in Romania.
However, the majority of respondents (57%) would not be willing to make investments or pay more for clean energy sources, even if 1 in 2 Romanians indicate the energy produced by solar panels as the type of energy they would prefer to use.
"Economic sustainability is a priority for companies and governments across the planet, and rightly so. Reducing the impact on the environment is very important if we want to leave behind a better and cleaner world for our children. Caring for the environment is part of our company's DNA, being one of the basic pillars of our development strategy", says Sebastian Călugăr, CEO, of CIS Gaz.
The CIS Gaz survey on Romanians' perception of energy system problems was carried out, at the national level, in June 2023 through the iVox platform, on a total sample of 1,383 Internet users from Romania. Just over 50% of participants are male, over 48% are at least 45 years old, and over 86% live in urban areas.
