Building Net Zero Momentum Together
Campaigns
With Southeast Asia among the region’s most vulnerable to climate change, the urgency for immediate emissions reduction has never been clearer. The United Nations warns that without cutting global emissions[1], the world risks exceeding 1.5°C of warming—bringing more extreme heat, floods, droughts, and rising sea levels that threaten communities, economies, and ecosystems.
That’s why on Zero Emissions Day, we’re reaffirming our mission to accelerate the region’s transition toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future. Across the business, we are pioneering low-carbon solutions, co-innovating with clients and partners, and empowering communities to achieve long-term value by reducing emissions.
From large-scale solar farms and district cooling systems to innovative data centre solutions, our teams are delivering measurable impacts. Here are some of the voices driving the region’s zero-emissions journey:
Partnerships: Building the Foundation for Net Zero
The journey to Net Zero begins with collaboration. At ENGIE, we believe that transformative change occurs when we collaborate with partners to co-design low-carbon solutions that meet real-world needs and drive measurable results.
“Our unified approach drives the biggest impact. By combining clean energy, integrated utilities and digital solutions, we help partners cut carbon while building resilience. That’s what excites me – turning collaboration into measurable change towards a net-zero.”
— Floriane Jacquart, Country Sustainability Officer, Southeast Asia, ENGIE
“ENGIE’s carbon-neutral mission guides every startup we build. I work with founders to turn bold climate goals into practical solutions – from heavy industries in the Middle East to small businesses in the Philippines. Watching startups cut costs and emissions while scaling impact is incredibly fulfilling.”
— Gayathri Gopal, Vice President of Venture Build, ENGIE Factory APAC
Optimisation: Turning Ambition into Impact
Partnerships set the stage, but efficiency is what makes ambition real. Our teams focus on helping clients optimise their existing utility infrastructure to achieve near-term emissions reductions. From retrofitting industrial systems to fine-tuning the operations of energy-intensive facilities, even small improvements in energy performance can unlock significant carbon and cost savings, all while turning efficiency into real impact.
“Transforming a client’s chiller system was one of my proudest moments – we boosted efficiency by almost 40%, cut 4,600+ tonnes of CO₂ and saved more than 11,000,000 MWh of energy annually, all without disrupting operations. For me, the real reward was seeing how teamwork and precision can deliver both cost savings and climate impact.”
— Amos Ong, Senior Engineer, ENGIE Services Singapore
“I’m passionate about helping clients fast-track their net-zero journeys with sustainable, efficient data centre solutions. With strategies such as optimising temperatures and enhancing critical infrastructure performance, we unlock measurable energy savings while maximising uptime. With ENGIE’s global expertise, we’re not just meeting targets – we’re futureproofing operations.”
— Ken Tang, Sales Manager, Enterprise Solutions, ENGIE ITS
“In the Philippines, where grid instability challenges daily plant operations, I use data-driven strategies to optimise chilled water systems and power quality – preventing inefficiencies and equipment damage, while cutting emissions. What drives me is delivering real impact – helping businesses grow sustainably in challenging conditions.”
— Denise Sosa, Performance Engineer, ENGIE Services Philippines
Scaling Renewables: Powering Long-Term Change
While optimisation drives quick wins, achieving lasting decarbonisation requires thinking bigger. Renewables are also central to Southeast Asia’s energy transition, providing the backbone for a future with zero carbon emissions.
Through large-scale projects and innovative financing models, ENGIE brings clean energy within reach for communities and corporations alike.
" Through virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), we empower organisations to go beyond onsite renewables and make measurable progress towards their net-zero targets. Our ability to guide organisations as they mature in their sustainability journey and turn their commitments into concrete action fuels my passion.”
— Daphne Chee, Head of Green Solutions for Supply & Energy Management, APAC, ENGIE
“Our solar projects are delivering real change in Malaysia – generating over 270 GWh of clean energy annually and offsetting 180,000 tonnes of CO₂. Through zero-CapEx models, we’re making clean energy accessible to corporations across the country. Building a cleaner, more resilient future drives everything I do.”

Innovation: Designing the Future of Energy
Reaching the zero emissions target also depends on what comes next. That’s why ENGIE is advancing cutting-edge research and partnerships that will shape a sustainable future for all. Our teams are transforming bold ideas into practical solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
“Our decarbonisation research transforms bold ideas into action – harnessing solar, storing wind, and building smarter systems. Through award-winning pilots and digital breakthroughs, we help cut emissions. But what drives me the most is building holistic and diverse partnerships that create meaningful change toward a zero-emissions future.”
— Lancine Dosso, Projects & Partnership Manager, ENGIE Lab Singapore
Toward a Cleaner Tomorrow
Zero Emissions Day reminds us that sustainability is not just an aspiration—it is an everyday responsibility. At ENGIE, we are at the heart of this transformation. From partnerships that build momentum, to efficiencies that deliver immediate results, to renewables that scale impact, and innovations that shape the future — every step brings us closer to a carbon-neutral future.
Together with our clients, partners, and communities, we are driving real change. We are reshaping how energy is produced, managed, and consumed. This proves that a zero-carbon future is not only possible, but already underway.
