Enabling sustainable digital connectivity to shape the energy supply chain of the future, Louise Harry from Siemens explains is Xcelerator programme

Sustainability must be ingrained in every part of any commercial process in order to truly meet emissions reduction targets and shape a more responsible future for the global economy.

Over recent years, industries watched a number of transformations in the environmental realm become inherently supported by new digital technologies that are capable of sharing insights from steps along the supply chain. Digital transformation enables greater visibility of the entire product or energy life cycle, and data is the enabler of this sustainability intelligence that will allow industries to declare true compliance.

Siemens' Xcelerator is a platform by the digital technology business that supports companies in supply chain, logistics and energy and scales their digital transformation.

The open digital platform is built to break down data barriers between teams and leverages collective intelligence to ensure that all stakeholders in the supply chain can access the information they need, which is much more difficult in a siloed information system.

"Whether your aim is to achieve an emission-free supply chain or reduce an individual product's carbon footprint, the most effective decarbonisation strategy starts by shifting from a siloed way of working to a digitalised, connected one," says Louise Harry, Director of Sustainability & Environment, Health and Safety at Siemens GB&I.

"The path to a greener future is paved with collective action and dedication. But that can only happen by sharing information."

What are the sustainable benefits of end-to-end visibility?

Data transparency opens up new opportunities, such as the necessary decarbonisation of industries, as well as energy efficiency, resource efficiency, and adherence to a circular economy.

Decarbonisation: This hinges on companies' abilities to divulge their sustainability data. The true meaning of zero-emissions comes from Scope 3 transparency, making it crucial for suppliers to understand how the companies they engage with report their own impacts.
