Enhancing society together

Climate change is driving governments and industries worldwide to rethink and reinvent how they operate. Attaining net zero and achieving climate resilience are global urgencies. Not even a global pandemic has slowed the impending threat climate change poses to life on earth. COP26 highlights a pivotal moment for the UK, Europe and the globe. Now is the time to act on climate change.

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.

Manufacturers in the FMCG sector are facing challenge from every angle. Today’s consumers have high expectations: they want a personalised experience, expect exceptional e-commerce and logistics and seek sustainable, green products and practices. New solutions and extensive FMCG expertise can help you to stay ahead by developing modular, flexible, automated and sustainable solutions.

The global digital revolution is bringing prosperity to more and more countries and regions. Where digital infrastructures are created, new economic opportunities arise.

For data centres we enable business, operations and systems to operate efficiently, effectively and continuously. We deliver resilient and energy-efficient mission critical facilities.

The city of the future will rely on climate resilient strategies, master planning and infrastructure to support the growing demands of urbanisation. Predictive risk and impact modelling and analytics, forecasting and automated alerting, as well as global industry-related expertise are central to this reality.

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.
