Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, kicked off its Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2022 with a passionate call to accelerate digitalization for a more sustainable and efficient future, addressing the energy and climate challenges and setting out its approach and solutions in response.
Schneider Electric is widely recognised as a leader in environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, and its products, services and other activities help customers, suppliers, business partners and communities further their own progress on those fronts. The company has long advocated for taking action to reduce energy emissions, electrify and digitalise energy ecosystems and ensure that all this is done with economic and people’s welfare in mind.
“We’re in the midst of an energy transition that continues to evolve. Power consumption is projected to triple by 2050 as electrification and living standards grow, it’s vital that we deploy all the technologies that are already available now to accelerate digitization, electrification, and sustainability. Schneider Electric strives to take the lead in contributing to sustainable development by joining hands with corporates to fight against climate change. The industry needs to embrace innovation and technology, which can be accessed as the enabler of digitalisation and automation in order to achieve sustainability and efficiency in the long run.” said Jonathan Chiu, President at Schneider Electric Hong Kong.
Recently, Schneider Electric issued a new survey titled “Building a Greener and Smarter Hong Kong” in partnership with the Business Environment Council to understand the readiness and challenges of businesses and leaders in sustainable transformation.
