Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2021 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question: Does management describe that the company's way of doing things is now being adopted/copied/moved toward by others in market, validating company? Need only transcript. Scan transcript for such phenomenon. Management talks about natural gas strategy, emissions reductions, hydrogen, RNG, solar, etc. They claim leadership, but do they describe others following? Let's search. Alan: "Our natural gas focused strategy is delivering even better results..." "we have contracted our business over the years to be protected from inflationary environment..." Not about others copying. Sustainability: "we are pursuing emerging opportunities like hydrogen hub... evaluating large-scale co-development..." "we set 2021 goal... expect to exceed..." Not others. On methane emissions: "Ernest Moniz... made it clear to gas industry... you guys have got to get your methane emissions... we've been on a mission to reduce that. I think we're extremely well-positioned if the methane emissions are positioned right." This is about industry shift? Not necessarily copying Williams. On responsibly sourced natural gas: Chad says "we are seeing strong interest from both LNG off-takers and utility customers... We have been in discussions with several customers... we think we can marry solutions..." Not others adopting Williams' way. On hydrogen: "without an incentive structure... really needs incentive structure... still early days... pilot stage." Not others copying. On Permian: Alan says "we like risk mitigation... long-term contracts... tends to drive us towards longer-term contracts..." Not others. No mention of competitors copying. Maybe "we are among first Midstream investors in platform" but not others following. Question asks "does management describe that the WAY THIS COMPANY DOES THINGS ... is NOW BEING ADOPTED, COPIED, OR MOVED TOWARD BY OTHERS IN ITS MARKET?" No. They claim leadership but no concrete imitation. Answer NO.
