Kuala lumpur: 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.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the company stated that climate change is now an immediate threat, energy security remains a primary concern, and obstacles such as limited resources and internal resistance continue to impede business progress. The company emphasized the necessity for businesses to transition from reactive to proactive strategies by using digital tools, predictive analytics, and integrated energy and sustainability management systems. This approach allows organizations to monitor risks in real-time, anticipate disruptions, and optimize energy usage, thereby reducing carbon emissions, cutting costs, and meeting growing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations.

Furthermore, Schneider Electric highlighted the importance of addressing energy security through diversified and resilient energy strategies. The company advocates for the adoption of renewables, microgrids, and smart energy management to ensure that sustainability initiatives are both impactful and future-proof.

The company also acknowledged the challenges posed by limited resources and internal resistance for businesses seeking to comply with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA). Schneider Electric collaborates with partners to align strategy with action, demonstrate quick wins, and embed sustainability into the core of business operations. By treating sustainability as a strategic priority, it becomes a powerful driver of long-term value. Schneider Electric aims to support this transition not only with digital tools and technologies but also through partnerships, guidance, and shared expertise.
