In the business world, the new awareness of sustainability is reflected above all in efforts to cut CO2 emissions and reduce consumption of resources such as water, electricity and fossil fuels. The integration of renewable energies also plays an important role. Most companies now know that it is imperative to integrate ecological action into their corporate strategy - not least in order to meet regulatory requirements. Digital technology is a great help to them in this respect: Connected Business can make a significant contribution to climate protection, because by networking technologies and systems in buildings (Smart Buildings) or in logistics (Smart Logistics), companies can monitor and optimize their energy consumption in real time.

What can companies expect?

Companies that focus more on sustainability can expect a number of positive effects - for example, more sales (because sustainability is now an important purchasing decision criterion), energy cost savings, a stronger brand reputation and easier access to capital (because investors are also increasingly placing value on sustainability). If they then also switch to new forms of work with a view to the future of work, they kill two birds with one stone: flexible working and remote working reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the one hand and also simplify personnel recruitment on the other.
