TÜV SÜD Deep Dive Workshop at the 10th ADB Asia Clean Energy Forum

Small Steps, Big Impact: Harnessing Energy Efficiency in Your Daily Business

15 June 2015 - 14:00-17.30 PM

Asian Development Bank, Mandaluyong City, Manila, PHILIPPINES

Background Rapid change in technology and fast paced movement of goods due to the globalization has fostered heightened production, trade and consumption of material goods in amazing quantities. Change soon became the new norm where continents and countries began converging, all credit to vast networks of interconnectivity. That said, one thing remain constant: energy demand will grow, and grow significantly. In Asia Pacific alone, energy demand is projected to almost double by 2030. Meeting increasing energy needs – with unprecedented increases in coal use, oil and gas imports, and GHG emissions – will thus prove to be a challenge. For ASEAN, with its vision of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, this challenge has to be negated as soon as possible. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was formed with the primary aim of providing a single market and production base, making the integrated region more dynamic and competitive. It is premised on the free flow of goods, services, labor and investment and aims to create four important objectives: • single market and production base; • competitive economic region; • region of equitable economic development; and • fully integrated into the global economy. Understanding the impending challenges ahead, the ASEAN 2020 Vision (of 1997) calls for a clean and green ASEAN so as to ensure environmental stability as well as sustainability of its energy resources. Whilst policy makers take pro-active measures to repair or prevent environmental damage arising, industry players too do need to waltz their part of the dance. This means all stakeholders will need to invest, innovate, and relentlessly advance the technologies or techniques that improve environmental performance associated with increased energy use. To begin with, financial institutions play critical roles in developing sustainable financing: • as Investors - supplying the investment needed to achieve sustainable development; • as Innovators - developing new financial products to encourage sustainable development

(e.g. in energy efficiency);

• as Valuers - pricing risks and estimating returns, for companies, projects and others. • as Powerful Stakeholders - as shareholders and lenders they can exercise considerable

influence over the management of companies. With movement of people, goods and products becoming increasingly rampant, sustainable freight initiatives will also be required:- • Adopting technologies or methodologies that are both cost effective as well as generate

reductions in black carbon and CO2 emissions from multi-model goods movement; • Provide common roadmap to help coordinate green freight programs between regions and

countries, and ease implementation; • Providing a platform for stakeholders to share best practices and freight efficiency data,

promote innovation, and communicate sustainability improvements of freight transportation. All organisations, in the wider context regardless of size or industry, should also embrace the green business philosophy: • Employees need to understand their role in energy management and sometimes nudged

along towards embracing the company’s energy efficiency culture; • Identify operational gaps and strengthen conservation efforts by proposing feasible green

initiatives which can be implemented within its daily operations; • Recognise that small incremental steps do make huge differences.

Objective

The main target of the TÜV SÜD deep dive workshop is to facilitate discussions as well as sharing of best practices on how to incorporate energy efficient efforts into your daily business activities. The panel discussions range from the top level insights on the current regulatory framework in the region and how Government Bodies have been active in their drive towards Clean Energy as well as perspectives from the industry stakeholders. In order to achieve the desirable outcomes, the workshop will provide discussion platform for: • Showcasing multi-facets of energy friendly Government policies as well as green financing

processes of energy efficient projects by financial institutions. • Insights of how sustainable supply chain players contribute in their drive towards greener

freight. • Awareness of required technical know-how to plan and harness the ability to evaluate

potential business benefits from green movements. • Experience sharing from pilot companies who detail their green journey and how small

steps, do make big impact in their day-to-day operations.
