The Global Impact Coalition (GIC) has welcomed technology giant Siemens as its newest member, a move that bolsters the coalition’s network of global industry leaders dedicated to cutting emissions and advancing circular solutions through cross-sector collaboration.
As a leader in industrial AI, automation, and digital twin technologies, Siemens brings specialized capabilities to help GIC turn sustainability ambitions into commercially scalable outcomes. The company’s expertise will support optimized operations, real-time monitoring, and measurable emissions reductions.
Charlie Tan, CEO of the Global Impact Coalition, said: "Siemens joining the Global Impact Coalition is a strong endorsement of our role as a trusted execution platform for industry-wide transformation. GIC exists to move beyond ambition and into delivery — aligning leaders across technology, materials and energy to co-create solutions that are scalable, bankable and measurable. This partnership strengthens our ability to turn collaboration into real-world circular and emissions-reduction outcomes.”
Siemens will apply its knowledge to GIC initiatives, including the continuation of the Automotive Plastics Circularity project, which seeks higher-value material recovery and lower lifecycle emissions.
Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens Digital Industries, said: "Joining the Global Impact Coalition underscores our commitment to transformational impact in sustainability. By collaborating with companies throughout the chemical industry’s value chain, we amplify our ability to decarbonize industrial processes and deliver traceable, low-emission solutions at scale.
“Industrial AI and digitalization are critical tools in our sustainability toolkit. Through GIC, we’ll accelerate innovation that turns pilot initiatives into replicable, global industrial solutions that meet stringent environmental standards.”
The coalition continues to expand both its membership and project portfolio, tackling critical emissions and circularity challenges across the chemical value chain and its related industries.
