Will SMEs help create a more sustainable world? One global corporation believes so. Story from SiemensUSA
Since 1981, the planet's temperature has. While the difference of a few degrees might not seem significant on a hot summer day, the uptick in global temperature promises catastrophic consequences for the Earth's residents. Across the world, glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and droughts are intensifying. But this is only the start; if left unchecked,to lead to more severe hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, flooding and global hunger.
Casciano would know. Over the last decade, Siemens has made a name for itself in sustainability circles by developing key initiatives to help society wean itself from fossil fuel dependency, integrate renewable energy sources into power systems and electrify transportation. While these efforts are essential, Casciano believes that SME empowerment – through opportunities such as theprogram – could prove to be even more pivotal in the decarbonization effort.
By making a concerted effort to prioritize sustainability, SMEs could establish a significant local competitive edge in the market. The societal and business motivations are present; however, many firms lack the skills, strategic direction or technical knowledge required to act on their aspirations.
However, Siemens doesn't just want to move itself towards a carbon-neutral future — it intends to help shepherd SMEs along the path, too.
