The UK energy sector has overtaken financial services in the trust stakes but still lags behind most industries, according to an annual survey by PR agency Edelman.
Among the “informed public” surveyed, 38 per cent trust the energy industry to do what is right, up from 31 per cent in 2012. That was just one percentage point higher than the general public, on 37 per cent. The renewables subsector fared better, on 60 per cent.
