KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 (Bernama) -- Schneider Electric Industries (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has identified three critical areas where the real estate industry must take decisive action to enhance sustainability and resilience, based on findings from its 2024 Green Impact Gap survey.
In a statement today, the company said climate change is no longer a distant threat, energy security remains a key concern, and barriers such as limited resources and internal resistance continue to hinder business progress.
“With climate change no longer a distant threat, businesses must shift from reactive to proactive strategies. By leveraging digital tools, predictive analytics, and integrated energy and sustainability management systems, organisations can monitor risks in real-time, anticipate disruptions, and optimise energy usage.
"This enables them to reduce carbon emissions, cut costs, and meet growing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations,” it said.
The company also emphasised that energy security remains a pressing concern, highlighting the need for diversified and resilient energy strategies.
“Schneider Electric advocates for the adoption of renewables, microgrids, and smart energy management to ensure that sustainability initiatives are both impactful and future-proof,” it said.
It further noted that limited resources and internal resistance pose challenges for businesses seeking to comply with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA).
“That is why we work closely with our partners to align strategy with action, demonstrate quick wins, and embed sustainability into the core of business operations.
“When sustainability is treated as a strategic priority, it becomes a powerful driver of long-term value. That's where we come in, not just with digital tools and technologies, but also through partnerships, guidance, and shared expertise,” the company added.
