Kapsch TrafficCom North America’s Post

When asked this week what Schneider is doing in the area of sustainability, I took a pause to consider what is the most notable, because there is literally so much that it is tough to articulate in a few sentences. Prior to when I joined the company, sustainability had become a cultural focus and a core value. Similar to when someone asks what a company is doing in the area of safety, generally every area of a business will incorporate safety and a focus on continuous improvement of safety. The US government adopted incentives to promote behavior changes in US companies. Other countries adopted penalties and other such measures for their local companies. Regardless of how people feel about the details of the US IRA, it proved that policy changes and tax incentives do impact US companies and their decision process. In order for the paradigm to continue to shift in the US, we will need to see continued improvement in both consumer behavior (to increase demand) and policy changes (to influence business decisions). A very wise young woman said this week at the conference (and I’m paraphrasing her wording) “We are talking about hitting sustainability targets in 26 years but 26 years ago, Google didn’t exist.” That was a very good point. The energy transition will likely result in new companies being born and many existing companies transforming. In 2025, the Global Energy Transition Congress and Exhibition will be held in the United States. I hope the attendance will be as robust and the enthusiasm as high as it was this week in Europe.

🎬 "It's Time" to act for Earth: A Baltic Sustainability Awards Short Film 🌍 At last year’s Baltic Sustainability Awards, the "It's Time" intro film did more than just grace the screen; it sparked a moment of collective reflection. For those in the room, we hope it was a pause – a reminder of our shared commitment to sustainability. This year, we're bringing an evolved version of this short film to a broader audience. 🌱 #ItsTime for not just a pause, but a global awakening. Our slightly modified film isn't just an echo of last year's message; it's an evolution – designed to resonate more deeply, to stir thoughts and spur action. This film is the path for the Baltic States to become key players in the global sustainability narrative. Your role? It's pivotal. Every view, every moment of pause, and every inspired thought contributes to our collective journey. This isn’t about passive watching; it's about active participation in a shared vision. Let’s provoke thoughts, let’s ignite discussions. How will you carry the message forward in your circles? Maybe it's through a conversation sparked by the film, or perhaps it's an action inspired by its message. We’ve got the drive, the science, the plans. What we need is the collective spark – that's where you come in. Your seemingly tinny moment of contribution can ignite massive changes. Think of it as a sustainability butterfly effect. One small action, one tiny #ItsTime, can ripple through our community, amplifying our collective mission. So, let’s play a game: How will you spread the word? Will it be a clandestine coffee chat, a cryptic message in your presentation, or maybe something more creative? Let's embrace this opportunity to reinforce our commitment and move the Baltic region forward in sustainability. #BalticSustainabilityAwards

🎬 Going green behind the scenes! The cast, crew, and gear that make our favorite shows and movies don't just show up on location and start shooting — a group of talented travel experts do a lot of heavy lifting to keep everyone on track. We teamed up with Media Flights, a pioneer in travel management for the media sector, to figure out how to do what they do best while putting sustainability in the spotlight. 🎉 Through meticulous emissions analysis and targeted sustainability strategies, our work together landed Media Flights on WeAreALBERT's Sustainable Suppliers directory, which highlights organizations taking meaningful steps toward a climate-smart media industry. Our Carbon Impact Analyst, Rosalin Brolly took us through the process and describes the specific action points that helped Media flights achieve this milestone in Thrust Insights, linked in the comments. 🏅 As you enjoy your next series or film, take a moment to appreciate the sustainable efforts that go unnoticed but make a huge impact. In fact, you can even look out for Albert's Sustainable Production certification at the end of the credits! #BehindTheScenes #EffortlesslyGreen

Over the last couple of months since I joined Someone Somewhere, I've gotten the chance to speak to many companies looking to partner with us for different reasons. One of the driving forces behind our partnerships is companies looking to meet Consumer Demand 🌎👀 Today’s consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental and social impact of the products they buy. By offering sustainable options, we not only meet this growing demand but also empower consumers to make choices that align with their values. This shift in consumer behavior can have a ripple effect, driving demand for sustainable products and encouraging other businesses to follow suit. 👉🏼 Creating Positive Impact: Sustainability isn’t just about reducing harm; it’s about creating positive change. By investing in renewable energy, reducing waste, and supporting fair labor practices, we can contribute to a more equitable and sustainable global economy. Together, we can help mitigate climate change, protect natural resources, and improve the lives of people around the world. 👉🏼 Choosing sustainability isn’t always easy, but the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Not only does it position us as responsible stewards of the planet, but it also opens up new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and growth. At Someone Somewhere we've made a commitment to embrace sustainability in our business and lead the charge towards a more sustainable future. Together, we can shape consumer behavior, drive positive change, and leave a lasting positive impact on the world. Would you join the movement with us at @Someone Somewhere? Send me a message if you are curious about how we can help.
