On September 9th, Siemens China officially announced the launch of the "Zero Carbon Pioneer Program". Siemens will use digital innovation and cross-field knowledge and experience to create a green ecology with partners in China, and empower the creation of an end-to-end zero-carbon industrial chain. , To help China achieve its "dual carbon" goal. Siemens strives to help more than 500 key suppliers in China accelerate the pace of carbon reduction by 2025, help tens of thousands of customers in dozens of industries save energy and increase efficiency, and promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry.
Supply chain is an important part of industrial carbon neutrality. Data shows that more than 90% of industrial product emissions are generated in the supply chain. Dr. Xiao Song, Executive Vice President of Siemens Global and Chairman, President and CEO of Siemens China, pointed out that “China’s “dual carbon” goal will have a profound impact on its development in the next 40 years and contribute to the high-quality development of China’s economy. Inject green impetus. For China, achieving this goal is not easy, nor can it be done overnight. Due to the high integration of modern industrial chains, only achieving net zero emissions in the industrial chain can truly achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, and technological innovation is to create The key to the end-to-end zero-carbon industry chain."
Regarding the supply chain, Siemens continues to strengthen its assessment of suppliers’ sustainable development, and plans to formally incorporate low-carbon related indicators into the procurement decision-making process in China starting from fiscal year 2022. At present, Siemens has established an emission reduction information management system covering nearly 9,000 suppliers in China, and is improving energy efficiency, on-site heating and power supply, purchasing green power, implementing energy-saving processes, optimizing logistics, reducing business travel, and applying regeneration. 7 major areas, including recycling materials and recyclable materials, help key suppliers to promote green transformation. The company's goal is to achieve a 20% reduction in global supply chain emissions by 2030, and to achieve carbon neutrality in the supply chain by 2050.
For customers, Siemens provides end-to-end solutions for companies in different industries and at different stages of development to move toward carbon neutrality from preliminary assessment and diagnosis, to overall planning and design, to overall implementation and optimization. Siemens has launched a blockchain-based safe and credible traceability project for the carbon footprint of industrial products in the Chengdu Digital Factory. It uses blockchain and edge computing technologies to accurately track the carbon footprint of the controller product's entire life cycle and achieve carbon footprint transparency. In July of this year, Siemens and Jiumu Group launched a strategic cooperation, which will provide a path plan for Jiumu to achieve the goal of "carbon peak in 2026 and carbon neutral by 2036" and help it build a green benchmark for the global industry.
As of fiscal year 2020, Siemens has helped global customers reduce carbon emissions by approximately 150 million tons. Dr. Xiao Song said, “Siemens, as a zero-carbon pioneer in the integration of knowledge and action, we are committed to helping companies of different fields and sizes to achieve a win-win environment and economic benefits, and to contribute to the high-quality and sustainable development of China's economy.
