KEO, a leading provider of multi-disciplinary consultancy services, and Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, have recently announced a strategic collaboration focussed at delivering turnkey decarbonization services in the region.
Under the partnership, the two firms will be ready to offer an end-to-end decarbonization action plan and a suite of engineered solutions to drive cost and carbon reductions. These will aid the organizations in accomplishing their net zero goals including comprehensive target setting and offering a roadmap, to produce tangible outcomes.
Industry sources added that according to the World Green Building Council, buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions and buildings display one of the fastest—if not the fastest—paths to meeting global climate targets. With the UAE and Saudi Arabia triggering (one of) the world’s most ambitious decarbonization programs, organizations in the region will benefit from such collaborations to more quickly and effectively meet the region’s goals.
Greg Karpinski, COO at KEO stated “This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to empower organizations to achieve their sustainability goals. By combining KEO’s sustainability and engineering excellence with Johnson Controls cutting-edge technologies, we are uniquely positioned to deliver impactful solutions that drive real environmental change.”
Greg Karpinski at KEO also remarked “We understand that managing the bidding for a complex scope decarbonization project can be a challenging task for organizations, involving significant costs and efforts. Through our collaboration with Johnson Controls, we aim to alleviate these challenges, offering clients a hassle-free experience from start to finish.”
Devrim Tekeli, General Manager for Service GCC at Johnson Controls stated “We are delighted to initiate this collaboration with KEO, which will empower our mutual customers to achieve their net zero commitments. Our comprehensive capabilities across technology manufacturing, HVAC, fire, security, controls, and connectivity via our OpenBlue digital platform are setting a benchmark in the region. These capabilities are already demonstrating tangible environmental and financial benefits. Together with KEO, we aim to empower businesses with the tools and expertise needed to drive sustainability leadership in this region and beyond.”
