Schneider Electric Industries (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has identified three critical focus areas essential for advancing sustainability and resilience across the real estate sector, according to insights from its 2024 Green Impact Gap survey.
In a statement issued today, the global energy management and automation company underscored the growing urgency for businesses to move beyond reactive postures, citing climate change as an immediate and escalating risk.
“With climate change no longer a distant threat, organisations must evolve from reactive to proactive approaches,” Schneider Electric stated. “By leveraging digital tools, predictive analytics, and integrated energy and sustainability management systems, businesses can monitor risks in real time, anticipate operational disruptions, and optimise their energy consumption.”
Such capabilities not only enable firms to reduce carbon emissions and operational costs but also support alignment with increasingly stringent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations.
The company further emphasised that energy security continues to be a significant concern for the industry. In response, Schneider Electric advocates for the integration of diversified and resilient energy strategies, including renewables, microgrids, and intelligent energy management systems, to ensure that sustainability efforts are both robust and future-ready.
In addressing structural barriers such as limited resources and internal resistance, Schneider Electric pointed to the challenges businesses face in complying with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA).
“That is why we collaborate closely with our partners to align strategic intent with tangible action, deliver measurable short-term outcomes, and embed sustainability deeply into core business processes,” the statement read.
“When sustainability is embraced as a strategic imperative, it becomes a powerful enabler of long-term value creation. Our role extends beyond providing digital technologies—we also offer partnership, guidance, and shared expertise to help businesses navigate this transformation.”
