Executives bring practical solutions to
advance the industry from commitment to action
ST.
LOUIS, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
automation software and technology company Emerson (NYSE:
EMR) will lend its voice and proven expertise to vital
conversations at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change
Conference (COP28), taking place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12 in Expo City,
Dubai. The seminal
event convenes luminaries across the public and private sectors to
lead dialogue and advance meaningful progress toward achieving
global Net Zero goals.
Emerson is a recognized leader in advancing the clean energy
transition, providing sustainability enabling technologies to some
of the world's most critical industries. Emerson leaders –
including Chief Sustainability Officer Mike
Train and Middle East and
Africa President Mathias Schinzel –
are participating in select events to advance the global discourse
on sustainability and the key role businesses like Emerson play in
shaping the future. These events include:
- Student Energy Summit: Schinzel will participate in the world's
largest youth energy event, organized by New
York University Abu Dhabi, under the theme of 'Reimagine the
Future of Energy.'
- Climate Action's Sustainable Innovation Forum: Train will
participate in a panel discussion on how data, digitalization and
AI can be used to accelerate business models that support
sustainable circularity.
- Reuters Energy Transition MENA: Train will share actionable
insights on putting automation to work toward optimized, more
sustainable operations in pursuit of decarbonization.
- Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit: Train
will join a panel on how innovations in renewable energy can power
the clean energy future.
As a Climate Supporter for COP28,
Emerson will have an innovation exhibit in Expo City highlighting
technologies to decarbonize traditional industries while
accelerating emerging energy sectors like hydrogen, biofuels and
electrification. The exhibit is located at Stand L in the Green
Zone, Technology and Innovation Hub 1.
"It's encouraging to see how many companies are working
to reduce their carbon footprints and engage with clean energy
innovations," said Train. "Across the globe, there are
ground-breaking, at-scale examples in hydrogen, EV batteries,
biofuels, energy and emissions management, circularity, grid
resiliency and more. Collaboration is key to design and
build projects, getting productive policy and processes put in
place, and driving investment and broader adoption. I'm looking
forward to seeing more discussion on these topics at #COP28."
Environmental sustainability is a business imperative for
Emerson and its value chain partners, from suppliers and customers
to employees and communities. Emerson uses a framework that groups
its environmental sustainability efforts into three broad
pillars: Greening Of Emerson, Greening
By Emerson and Greening With Emerson.
In 2022, the company's targets were approved by the Science Based
Targets initiative, including a goal to reach Net Zero operations
by 2030. Emerson recently announced it achieved a 42%
reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity, surpassing
its original goal.
