Measuring and reducing carbon emissions is a critical component of addressing climate change and achieving business success in an environmentally responsible manner.

The rapid growth of digital transformation and artificial intelligence-based applications has given way to emerging tracking technologies that can help companies make informed decisions in alignment with their net-zero targets. Utilizing carbon foot printing and green software and integrating ESG into core strategies can help companies achieve long-term success by addressing risks, seizing opportunities, and meeting the evolving expectations of stakeholders.

This workshop will guide you through Siemens Financial Services’ newly launched Decarbonization Business Optimizer that helps SMEs baseline their carbon footprint, create different scenarios for emission reduction, and discover a plan to reach their decarbonization goals. We will also hear practical and tangible advice and experience from companies actively using smart solutions available to UK and US businesses, to track and measure emissions, help adopt renewable energy sources, consider current emission offsets and foster a culture of sustainable practices.

Businesses have faced unprecedented challenges in 2023 and continue to grapple with the impact of persistent economic shocks, that have already proven to be significant barriers to growth.

Research conducted by the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce highlight the significant pressures that businesses currently face. According to the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Business Report for Q1 of 2023, half of the businesses surveyed across both Manufacturing and Services are expecting to raise their prices in Q2 of 2023. The main reasons cited by businesses for raising prices were labour costs (25%) cost of utilities (23%) and fuel costs (14%).

Indeed, energy efficiency remains a difficult topic for business leaders across the region. As a result, understanding the benefits of energy efficiency measures is vital. As highlighted by the International Energy Agency in their Energy Efficiency 2022 Report, stronger energy efficiency is the best policy to bring down bills.

Join this webinar to understand why energy bills have been persistently high and how businesses are incorporating energy efficiency measures, in response to rising energy bills.
