Speaking at the keynote address, Mr. Kavickumar Muruganathan, Sustainability & Policy Lead at Microsoft (APAC), said, "Business and society are in the middle of a digital transformation. Datacenters and cloud services are the enabling foundation supporting business in the digital economy across sectors to thrive, facilitated by digital high-speed, high-volume networks and low-latency interconnection. To a large extent, our work and personal lives today are mediated by data, and that data is served by datacenters. The cloud plays a critical role in driving long-term economic progress and creating pathways for countries to achieve sustainable growth more rapidly. The twin goals of digital transformation and sustainable growth can be achieved through accelerating cloud adoption. Cloud-enabled technologies such as AI offer significant and undeniable support to governments in meeting UNSDGs."

We focus on increasing the power efficiency of our electrical products while lowering the energy intensity and carbon footprint of our factories and buildings.
