With growing concerns about global warming and climate change, apparel manufacturers and branded apparel companies are being compelled to reassess their partnerships.
From heating and cooling to distillation and drying, chemical manufacturing is one of the most energy-intensive industries in Asia. The sector accounts for about 10% of final industrial energy use in Southeast Asia and is a major contributor to the region’s emissions footprint.
In the automotive industry, energy is a critical input that powers everything from robotics and welding lines to paint shops and testing labs. With the shift toward advanced automation, greater digitalisation and the rise of electric vehicle (EV) production, electricity consumption across automotive manufacturing has surged.
Every sheet of paper comes with a footprint — and it's bigger than most realise.
The pharmaceutical industry is under increasing pressure to align with global sustainability targets — and for good reason. Research shows that the pharma sector generates an estimated 52 megatons of CO₂ emissions annually, for context, this is — roughly equivalent to the yearly emissions of 11 million passenger vehicles.
The Food and Beverage (F&B) industry is a vital engine of economic growth in Asia Pacific (APAC), serving billions of consumers daily.
The steel industry has long been the backbone of global infrastructure, powering everything from construction and automotive manufacturing to energy production. However, it is also one of themost energy-intensive sectors in the world, responsible for 8% of the global energy demand. In addition, steel production also accounts for6 - 9% of global carbon emissions.
As energy prices continue to climb, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to find sustainable and cost-effective solutions to maintain their competitive edge.
