Tackling climate change demands more than isolated efforts, it requires a unified, cross-sector approach where industries, governments, and technology leaders work together. A new documentary produced by AVEVA in collaboration with CNBC, titled ‘Radical Collaboration’, explores precisely how such partnerships can accelerate decarbonization through digital innovation and shared intelligence.
The film underscores that climate change represents the most pressing challenge of our era, arguing that systemic progress hinges on breaking down traditional silos. By combining digital tools with human expertise, organizations can unlock unprecedented efficiencies and drive meaningful reductions in energy consumption and emissions. These actions not only support environmental goals but also enhance commercial resilience, open new growth avenues, and strengthen long-term competitiveness.
Caspar Herzberg, CEO of AVEVA, emphasizes that complex global issues like climate change cannot be solved by any single entity. “Concerted action from industries, governments and technology leaders is the only way we will unlock systemic change and reduce carbon emissions,” he states. With over five decades of experience supporting industrial transformation, AVEVA recognizes the urgency of this moment and the power of collaborative innovation.
The documentary highlights real-world examples of organizations already leading the charge. Companies like Henkel are implementing digital strategies to minimize their environmental footprint, while pioneers such as Highview Power are developing foundational technologies for a net-zero future. One standout innovation featured is Highview Power’s long-duration energy storage system, which leverages AVEVA’s platforms to help stabilize tomorrow’s decarbonized energy grids.
Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are reshaping how infrastructure is designed, simulated, and optimized. These tools enable smarter decision-making and foster a hyper-connected value chain across critical sectors including energy, manufacturing, and urban development.
Rob McGreevy, Chief Product Officer at AVEVA, notes the growing importance of scalable technological solutions. “We need to capitalise on the increasing use of tools and technologies like artificial intelligence to help solve the world’s problems at scale,” he remarks. This vision of integrated, intelligent systems lies at the heart of AVEVA’s mission to drive sustainable industrial progress.
Lisa Wee, Chief Sustainability Officer, adds that everyone has a role to play in shaping a better future. “Solving the climate crisis is one of the defining issues of our time,” she says. “We have an incredible opportunity at AVEVA to leverage technology to do so and to help bring others together.”
Through its CONNECT industrial intelligence platform and a suite of AI-enhanced applications, AVEVA supports businesses in accelerating insight, improving collaboration, and engineering more sustainable operations. Trusted by the majority of leading industrial enterprises worldwide, the company continues to spark ingenuity and promote the responsible use of global resources.
