Schneider Electric strives to take the lead in contributing sustainable development by joining hands with corporates to fight against climate change. Industry needs to embrace innovation and technology which can be accessed as the enabler of digitalization and automation in order to achieve sustainability and efficiency in the long run.” said Jonathan Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong.

Hang Lung Properties - Transformation to net-zero across a diversified portfolio of properties

Given the critical need to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability, Schneider Electric’s cloud-based EcoStruxure™ energy management platforms including EcoStruxure™ Resource Advisor and EcoStruxure™ Building Advisor, have been deployed by Hang Lung Properties to manage 20 properties across its Hong Kong and Mainland China portfolio. This has been done to enhance energy management and sustainability performance, monitor and track energy usage for identifying opportunities to optimize energy performance to accelerate corporate sustainability.

“Hang Lung Properties has been actively looking for ways to decarbonize our business and we target to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 40% by 2025. With the deployment of the cloud-based EcoStruxure platform, we can remotely collect, analyze and visualize all ESG and GHG data about assets across our portfolio at ease. It will also help accelerate our progress in achieving our ‘25 x 25 Sustainability Targets’,” said Anthony Pau, Deputy Director (Head of Group Service Delivery), Hang Lung Properties.

Ernst & Young - Shaping a smart and sustainable workplace of the future

Advances in digital technologies and IoT enabled devices are empowering companies to reshape the smart workplace. The EY member firms in Hong Kong (EY Hong Kong) have collaborated on their new headquarters with Schneider Electric to launch a workplace management platform, Planon Workplace Insights, to achieve operational excellence, maximize space and enhance employee well-being. With the support of the EcoStruxure™ Facility Expert, EY Hong Kong has reshaped its working environment, transforming individual offices into a new workspace with 12 floors and 1,700+ desks in two buildings in Hong Kong. The platform can also seamlessly integrate with the organization’s own employee mobile app, which provides real-time updates on the workplace environment. Through constantly analyzing 10,000+ data from 2,000+ IoT sensors and systems, it allows the organization to build a smart workplace.

Willy Wong, Technology Consulting Partner, EY Mtel Solutions Limited, says, “We are glad to have Schneider Electric as a collaborator in creating a complete and smart workplace that is both world-class and future proof. Their track record of delivering projects on a global scale, coupled with solid experience as a top-tier leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has made Schneider Electric a reliable business partner.”
