An understanding of pricing structures in the energy sector, such as fixed versus variable pricing, long-term contracts, and market dynamics will be essential. The ability to identify and assess risks associated with energy procurement, including supply disruptions, price volatility, and regulatory changes, is crucial for developing effective risk mitigation strategies. This expertise will empower the category manager to navigate the complexities of the energy market effectively, ensuring that Fonterra can make informed decisions that align with its sustainability goals and business needs.
