To accelerate decarbonization, focus on the power of electrification and digitalization, Schneider Electric urges as Davos meeting kicks off

– Top Schneider Electric executives attending World Economic Forum annual gathering. – Sustainability and energy resilience at the top of the corporate and public policy agenda.

Far greater deployment of existing technologies is needed to keep climate change from spiraling out of control, Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, urged today.

Accelerating climate change, geopolitical tensions, see-sawing energy prices, and pressure from stakeholders to address these risks, have pushed environmental sustainability and energy resilience to the top of the corporate and policy agenda in recent years. They form the backdrop to the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from 15-19 January, which several senior Schneider Electric executives are attending.

“With energy accounting for 80% of carbon emissions, the energy transition is central to decarbonization,” said Peter Herweck, CEO of Schneider Electric. “The potential of AI is currently capturing everyone’s attention. But let’s not forget that existing technologies – both renewable energy generation and digital and electrification tools that lower energy demand by rendering sites and operations far more energy efficient – can sharply reduce emissions now. There’s no time to wait for tomorrow’s solutions when much more can be achieved with what we have today.”

Action from the private sector – by companies around the globe – is key to lowering emissions. Encouragingly, the business world is increasingly making commitments to sustainability and decarbonization. As of January 2024, more than 4,200 companies worldwide have set emissions-reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), for example.

The power of energy efficiency, in particular, is gaining more recognition. Last year, Schneider Electric partnered with the International Energy Agency to bring together government and business leaders for a major conference on the topic.

A new report published by the World Economic Forum on January 8, found that acting on energy consumption through energy savings, energy efficiency and value cooperation partnerships could unlock up to $2 trillion in savings for the wider economy, and avoid building 3,000 additional power stations if actions are taken before 2030.

And research conducted by Schneider Electric recently showed that installing digital building and power management solutions in existing buildings could sharply reduce their operational carbon emissions, with a payback period of less than three years – highlighting the huge potential in that area alone.

Challenges and opportunities in tackling Scope 3 emissions

Another key area of focus is tackling the indirect emissions generated by companies’ “Scope 3” emissions activities. These come from their upstream and downstream value chains and account for the largest part of a company’s carbon emissions – more than 70%, according to the UN Global Compact.

The global supply chain disruptions of the past few years have helped push this topic up the corporate agenda. More than two-thirds of business leaders interviewed for a report last year by Schneider Electric, in partnership with Women Action Sustainability (WAS), said that regulatory pressure was pushing them to initiate decarbonization planning with supply chain partners. Those surveyed also said they were seeing an increased demand for supply chain decarbonization information from investors and/or financial entities.

“Businesses that are serious about decarbonization need to look beyond their own operations and address their entire value chain. And they need to realize that encouraging and helping their suppliers, customers, and other business partners to strive for greater energy efficiency – through electrification and digital technologies – and cleaner energy procurement, is a huge part of the answer,” said Olivier Blum, Executive Vice President of Energy Management at Schneider Electric.

The Monaco Optimist Team Race requires total concentration, precision, seamless communication and mastery of team match racing rules. Organised in duels between two teams, it is like a ballet on water with well over 150 of these match race duels scheduled over the five days, giving all teams a chance to compete against each other. The programme comprises a round-robin, quarter-finals, semi-finals and then the finals. USA, Sweden, Uruguay, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, France, UK and Monaco are all represented.

She will focus on global client growth and retention, especially in the European and Asia Pacific regions, and enhancing client experience across all lines of business.

Rajitha Boer’s hiring continues a string of key hires, including adding James Schellhase as the new CEO.

Boehringer expands production site in Greece for new medicine

Boehringer Ingelheim, a leading research-driven biopharmaceutical company, today announced a further expansion and upgrade of its plant in Koropi, Greece. With an investment of EUR 120 million, the company will increase the manufacturing capacity of new and existing medications. Main disease areas include cardio-renal-metabolic (CRM) diseases, mental health, pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis, and chronic liver disease, some of them in the late-stage development of the company’s strong innovation pipeline. The expansion will create 110 additional jobs and boost medicine exports from Greece, particularly of Jardiance®, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, chronic (long-term) heart failure and chronic kidney disease, to the US market.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis attended the groundbreaking ceremony at the Koropi site today, alongside the Minister of State, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Development. He said: “I am delighted to once again visit this plant which, as we have heard, produces some of the most innovative antidiabetic medicines, and to see the excellent organization as well as the high level of expertise and professionalism. I am also very pleased with the progress that the company has made; with the 700 skilled employees whose number will increase by more than 100 when this investment is completed; and, of course, with this important shift towards innovation. I want to thank the company for its continuous trust in Greece. But first and foremost, the company trusts you, the employees, not just the government or the wider environment. All together you constitute a team, building a better tomorrow, a structure with very strong foundations and that is what we are celebrating here today. You showcase the great importance we associate with the creation of value through innovation. It is a strategic goal that we as a state also embrace: to make our country a reference point for the pharmaceutical industry.”

Putting innovative production technologies in place to support successful Research & Development (R&D) is a key investment driver at Boehringer. In 2022, the company’s global expenditure in Human Pharma R&D amounted to 4.6 billion EUR. 25% of Human Pharma net sales are reinvested to advance science and cutting-edge research to find new therapies and treatments for patients who are waiting for new solutions in areas of high unmet patient needs. More than half of its 53,000 workforce and over 60% of R&D budgets are invested in Europe.

“We have been present in Greece since 1996, and have gradually expanded our operations in the country,” said Hubertus von Baumbach, Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors at Boehringer Ingelheim. “This expansion investment will bring some of our most innovative therapies to an increasing number of patients globally.”

Boehringer started the production facility in Koropi in 1975. In 2020, the company announced multi-year investments to expand the site and its production capacity. The Koropi plant is the only industrial facility of a multinational pharmaceutical company in Greece producing innovative medicines.
