Case Study: Multinational Food and Beverage Company achieves 10% P&L savings in natural gas sourcing with GEP’s market intelligence

Multinational F&B Company Saves Millions in Energy Sourcing through GEP’s Market Intelligence

A $10B+ multinational food-and-beverage manufacturer with operations in more than 15 countries faced a looming natural gas contract renewal for its Australian processing site. Volatile global LNG markets, shifting local regulation and taxes, and a lack of supplier market intelligence left the company with limited visibility into future pricing and weak negotiating leverage.

GEP’s energy experts conducted targeted market and supply‑chain research, reviewed pipeline tariffs and retailer contracts, and identified key negotiation levers and the local cost structure. Based on this intelligence GEP recommended timing and a short, one‑year contract with a South Australia‑sourced retailer; the client executed the contract and achieved approximately 10% P&L savings.
