Enhancing society together

There is no longer any doubt that the world must act now to halt global warming. To have any chance of impact, carbon emissions must be halved this decade and we must collaboratively achieve Net Zero by 2050. It is an enormous challenge, but not an impossible one. Achieving Net Zero requires collaboration, commitment and the alignment of governments and businesses all over the world. We are empowering governments, businesses and society to address climate change and deliver action to support the Net Zero transtition.

In ports around the world, pressure is rising to ‘go green’ – whether that is transitioning to Net Zero Carbon and reducing emissions or in meeting the demands of the public and industry bodies alike in operating more efficiently and with greater sustainability. Having smart and green solutions at the heart of port operations offers the opportunity to meet this challenge whilst delivering business continuity and economic efficiencies. 

Water affects industries’ bottom lines. Water shortages, extreme weather events and climate change mean that industries must choose how rather than if they improve their resilience and the sustainability of their water use. Managing water better is an opportunity for industry to strengthen competitiveness and attract investments. At the same time this secures their license to operate, reduces financial losses and altogether ensures business continuity while delivering social value.

Changes in demand patterns are driving major transformations in global manufacturing industries and supply chains. Addressing decarbonisation and sustainable manufacturing is just one of the urgent focus areas. Rapidly changing market dynamics and operational environments are driving demand for faster adaptation via new product lines and variations, with a simultaneous focus on lean production and minimising costs.

The global digital revolution is bringing prosperity to more and more countries and regions. Where digital infrastructures are created, new economic opportunities arise. Data centres facilitate this 21st-century transformation benefiting millions of people in their daily lives. For data centres we enable business, operations and systems to operate efficiently, effectively and continuously. We deliver resilient and energy-efficient mission critical facilities.

Climate change is putting people, assets, infrastructure, and business continuity at increasing risk. Impacts like flooding, drought, heatwaves, landslides and wind are taking a growing toll on communities and businesses. For private and public sector organisations, this presents a defining challenge: “How can we adapt to keep our communities, economies, assets and infrastructure running safely?”

As urban populations continue to grow, overcrowding in key locations can become a problem, threatening people’s safety and affecting their wellbeing. Measures need to be taken to manage the flow of people in a city to avoid putting extra stress on public spaces, infrastructure and mobility.

Our world is changing, quickly. Rapid innovation and widescale digital transformation are producing new challenges for organisations in every sector. But along with these challenges come new opportunities. Digital twins have the potential to radically transform the way we think and operate as a society—providing the insight and agility needed to turn reactive decision-making into proactive problem-solving.

Harnessing digital technology to create efficiencies, optimise performance and enhance sustainability for the rail sector. Our digital railways solutions provide our clients with better control by optimising time and resources, ultimately delivering a reliable, safe and more comfortable customer experience.

Industry 4.0 has revolutionised the manufacturing sector – but its full potential is still yet to be realised. The journey to automation and data exchange is a complex one, and must involve all stakeholders if it is to deliver greater customer value and operational efficiency.

The acceleration of digital innovation brings vast opportunities to the aviation sector. Every aspect of airport and flight management can be enhanced and improved through smart aviation disciplines: from asset management and operations to customer experience and sustainability. Royal HaskoningDHV is leading the shift towards smart aviation through our blend of digital insights and decades of aviation and airport expertise.

Today’s global port and terminal network faces a multitude of challenges; from the ongoing pressure to reduce running costs, to ensuring appropriate security measures; from facing the pressure to ‘go green’ and mitigating against climate change, to utilising the immense amount of data they generate daily. In answer to these challenges, Smart Ports combine digital innovation and tools with operator intelligence; enabling ports to work more efficiently and streamline operational costs.
