ATLANTA, May 17, 2023 \/PRNewswire\/ — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and Arcadis (EURONEXT: ARCAD) have today announced a collaboration to provide tools and services that help optimize energy use and carbon emissions in commercial buildings worldwide. With an initial focus on five projects in various locations worldwide, the companies will jointly offer a range of end-to-end solutions to help clients and customers expedite progress toward their carbon-reduction goals.<\/p>\n
For Arcadis and Honeywell, this relationship strengthens the efforts that both organizations are making to help clients that are committed to improving outcomes related to ESG. The relationship is not exclusive, and both companies expect to add additional collaborations to enhance their offerings in this space. For building owners who have already set goals and made pledges to reduce carbon footprint across their portfolio, the collaboration will deploy a software suite that applies milestones to document progress with tailored insights and data-led reports that showcase these efforts to internal and external stakeholders. Honeywell and Arcadis will also formulate strategic goals for organizations that do not have access to asset- or device-level energy performance data.<\/p>\n Arcadis brings a deep background in evaluating business impacts across programs and portfolios. It assesses ESG risks for companies by developing current-state assessments that analyze technical and financial scenarios to measure impacts across energy and climate, materials and waste, and buildings and infrastructure. Arcadis also helps building owners include other ESG goals in the design of their real estate assets, such as climate adaptation, biodiversity, and inclusivity.<\/p>\n “The strength of Arcadis is our ability to help clients identify where change can have the most impact in their organization when it comes to their energy use and carbon footprint,” said Alan Brookes, chief executive officer, Arcadis. “By working with Honeywell, we can take that insight and provide an end-to-end service from planning to execution and ongoing maintenance to allow clients to reduce the energy use within their building portfolios and demonstrate the value of their investment to key stakeholders.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Honeywell brings decades of experience in developing smart-building technologies that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI\/ML)-enabled software to enhance control systems with sensor-driven analytics, occupancy tracking and predictive maintenance. The company also offers service solutions that help building owners fund improvements as operating expenses instead of capital investments.<\/p>\n “By combining our ready-now advanced building controls software with Arcadis’ expertise in sustainability assessments and roadmapping, we can develop plans for customers that meet both their short-term need to manage energy use and their long-term aspiration to reduce their carbon footprint,” said Billal Hammoud, president and chief executive officer, Honeywell Building Technologies. “By drawing on our respective strengths, we can deliver more efficient and effective sustainability solutions for buildings.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Documenting and reporting sustainability efforts will only increase in importance as more and more regulatory actions are enacted. The\u00a0Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive<\/a>\u00a0(CSRD), for example, requires all large and listed companies to disclose information on risks and opportunities related to ESG issues and their impact on the environment.ii<\/sup>\u00a0Through collaborations such as this one, Arcadis and Honeywell are creating an ecosystem of third-party solutions and complementary services to help clients and customers worldwide reduce their energy consumption and carbon emissions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”bg_wt_rc”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information on Honeywell:<\/strong>\u00a0See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/p>\n More information on Darius Adamczyk (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer till 1.06.2023 + Executive Chairman from 1.06.2023, Honeywell):<\/strong>\u00a0See the full profile on EMR Executive<\/p>\n More information on Vimal Kapur (President and Chief Operating Officer till 1.06.2023 + CEO from 1.06.2023, Honeywell):<\/strong>\u00a0See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/p>\n More information on Billal Hammoud (President and CEO of Honeywell Building Technologies (HBT)):<\/strong>\u00a0See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More information on\u00a0Arcadis:\u00a0<\/strong>http:\/\/www.arcadis.com\/<\/a>\u00a0+ Arcadis is the leading global Design & Engineering Consultancy for natural and built assets.

The 7 European institutions, 7 EU bodies and over 30 decentralised agencies are spread across the EU. They work together to address the common interests of the EU and European people.<\/p>\n In terms of administration, there are a further 20 EU agencies and organisations which carry out specific legal functions and 4 interinstitutional services which support the institutions.<\/p>\n All of these establishments have specific roles \u2013 from developing EU laws and policy-making to implementing policies and working on specialist areas, such as health, medicine, transport and the environment.<\/p>\n There are 4 main decision-making institutions which lead the EU\u2019s administration. These institutions collectively provide the EU with policy direction and play different roles in the law-making process:<\/p>\n Their work is complemented by other institutions and bodies, which include:<\/p>\n The EU institutions and bodies cooperate extensively with the network of EU agencies and organisations across the European Union. The primary function of these bodies and agencies is to translate policies into realities on the ground.<\/p>\n Around\u00a060,000 EU civil servants\u00a0and other staff serve the 450 million Europeans (and countless others around the world).<\/p>\n Currently, 27 countries are part of the EU:\u00a0https:\/\/european-union.europa.eu\/principles-countries-history\/country-profiles_en<\/a><\/p>\n More information on The European Commission:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/index_en<\/a>\u00a0+ The\u00a0Commission helps to shape the EU’s overall strategy, proposes new EU laws and policies, monitors their implementation and manages the EU budget. It also plays a significant role in supporting international development and delivering aid.<\/p>\n The Commission is steered by a group of 27 Commissioners, known as ‘the college’. Together they take decisions on the Commission’s political and strategic direction.<\/p>\n A new college of Commissioners is appointed\u00a0every 5 years.<\/p>\n The Commission is organised into policy departments, known as Directorates-General (DGs), which are responsible for different policy areas.\u00a0DGs develop, implement and manage EU policy, law, and funding programmes. In addition, service departments deal with particular administrative issues. Executive agencies manage programmes set up by the Commission.<\/p>\n Principal roles in law: The Commission proposes and implements laws which are in keeping with the objectives of the EU treaties. It encourages input from business and citizens in the law-making process and ensures laws are correctly implemented, evaluated and updated when needed.<\/p>\n More information on Ursula von der Leyen (President, The European Commission):<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/commissioners\/2019-2024\/president_en<\/a>\u00a0+\u00a0https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ursula-von-der-leyen\/<\/a><\/p>\n More information on The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD):\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/business-economy-euro\/company-reporting-and-auditing\/company-reporting\/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en<\/a>\u00a0+ EU\u00a0law requires certain large companies to disclose information on the way they operate and manage social and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n EMR Additional Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nData from the\u00a0World Economic Forum<\/a>\u00a0suggests that approximately 80% of today’s buildings will still be standing in 2050i<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 which means the challenge of controlling escalating energy use, particularly in older buildings, to meet carbon-reduction targets will increase over the coming decades. Many building owners and operators lack the expertise and technology to monitor and optimize energy performance, making it harder for them to initiate change in their organizations. Honeywell and Arcadis offer unique but complementary services to address these shortfalls and will work with clients and customers to map a path toward lower carbon emissions, while also improving resilience.<\/p>\nSource<\/strong>
