Businesses will need to strike the right balance in their approach to the situation to identify the most appropriate combination of actions including passing through costs and targeting cost reductions in a way that maximises their value to the business. The actions will vary according to the sector the business operates in and the flexibility it has with respect to customers, supply chain or how it uses energy.
