Siemens Xcelerator Beyond 1%
How can digitalization help Australia punch above its weight in the global net zero race?
The world has entered a perfect storm. Challenging net zero targets have been set, energy prices have risen rapidly, and labour and skills shortages have grown. How can digitalization help Australia punch above its weight in the global net zero race?
The rapid deployment of digitalization technologies and skills into our industrial, energy and infrastructure sectors is critical to support climate goals and to make businesses more competitive. It is also essential to allow Australia to take a leading role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions: beyond the 1% of emissions we are responsible for today.
For business leaders and for Australia generally it’s a whole new language. GHG emissions. Scope 1, 2 and 3. Digital twins, IIOT, product carbon footprints and more. It’s the language essential to having a successful business in the future.
Our climate commitments, the energy transition and the industrial digital transformation are all interconnected and relate not only to the competitiveness of Australian industry but also to the nation’s ability to achieve its targets and ultimately create prosperity in a low carbon future.
Accelerating digital transformation for sustainability through Siemens Xcelerator
As the largest automation and industrial software company in the world, we are driving digital transformation. But we can't do it alone and we don't have all the answers and solutions. That's why we launched a new digital business platform that we call Siemens Xcelerator, which brings together a large ecosystem of like-minded companies and puts the very best digital offerings all in the one place. It's our answer to accelerating digital transformation.
Beyond 1% in action
The real Beyond 1% impact comes from innovations that can be deployed around the world. Here's just a few examples that exemplifies the three outcomes of accelerating digitalization & technology for sustainability.

Glass Mould Cleaning
Enabling Industrial Innovation
Automation Innovation AI-driven innovation achieves a 30% energy saving and has the potential to reduce raw materials wastage by 700,000 tonnes as well as eliminating 1 billion kg of CO2 each year.
Our commitment to decarbonization
Siemens is on track to achieve Net Zero in our own operations by 2030, and supply chain by 2050. We empower our people to develop solutions that make the world more livable, sustainable and inclusive.
We leverage our innovative technology portfolio to help customers and partners worldwide and in numerous key industries to significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. As a result, the products and solutions Siemens sold to customers in fiscal 2022 will, over the course of their lifetime, avoid around 150 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
This is an amount 13 times higher than the around 12 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions generated during the manufacturing process – from raw materials extraction to the factory gate (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 upstream).
Driving sustainability through our portfolio
Sustainability-related business is the biggest lever for decarbonization and climate protection. Here's just a few examples:

Building X
Buildings are responsible for around 40% of global energy emissions. Building X is a scalable, digital platform to digitalize, manage and optimize building operations, allowing for improved performance and sustainability.
Reach your net zero goals with digitalization
Developed with Engineers Australia
Australian companies in industry and infrastructure must prioritize digitalization to achieve their sustainability objectives. Through digitalization, companies can gain a bird's-eye view of their processes, access comprehensive data and pinpoint ways to reduce their carbon emissions. Not only can digitalization reduce environmental harm, but it can also increase efficiencies and help your business to optimize its operations.
