Matteo Crespi, Senior Vice President, Power Products Europe Hub at Schneider Electric believe there are three core pillars in which the healthcare industry should invest to ensure their operations remain resilient amidst geopolitical changes and the energy evolution.
1. People
Navigating both the energy crisis and the climate crisis also necessitates having the right people in the right places. Talent globalisation strategies continue to be crucial, especially for ensuring that European healthcare companies receive the most relevant materials and experts as and when they need them. This way, the region can avoid depending on other parts of the world where there may be worsening macroeconomic and geopolitical tensions.
By investing and creating local talent with end-to-end competencies across the continent and strengthening local medical facilities within each country and region, we can ensure less volatility for European consumers and companies.
2. Education
Many healthcare providers often find themselves without the knowledge and resources to set climate goals, measure carbon emissions and benchmark and report on their progress. That’ s why digital platforms like Sustainability School offer various interactive courses designed to equip both companies and professionals with the expertise and skills required to boost their environmental efforts. That way, more and more businesses across Europe can build up the talent needed for a successful sustainability journey.
This is particularly vital in the healthcare sector, where continuous knowledgesharing is crucial to ensure the whole region grows together and at scale, to reduce the negative impact of the energy crisis. It is also important to highlight the great work European companies are doing to inspire and empower others to do the same; a concept Schneider Electric is leading from within as an impact company.
