A LEADING hospitality chain with high electricity consumption—energy accounts for roughly 40% fixed cost of a hotel—approached Siemens for help. The global technology leader delivered average energy savings of around 13% while substantially reducing emissions.

By combining the real and digital worlds and harnessing the transformative power of technologies such as artificial intelligence, Siemens is helping customers accelerate their path to sustainability, while reducing the environmental footprint. It is the winner in the heavy electrical category in manufacturing.

“We have made significant progress towards net zero. Our goals include a 90% reduction in emissions from own operations and a 20% reduction in emissions in the supply chain (both by 2030), apart from net zero by 2050,” says Sunil Mathur, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Ltd.

The Indian entity of the German multinational technology conglomerate is primarily using levers such as electrification of manufacturing processes, transitioning to a cleaner energy mix at source and enhancing energy efficiency in consumption. The Siemens Xcelerator platform supports customers across utilities, industries and infrastructure on this journey.
