Biztech Asia Conversations

Companies looking for more sustainable ways of doing business are nothing new, but there has been a substantial increase in recent years. From the smallest startups entering the market focused entirely on sustainable products and services, to the largest multinational businesses overhauling existing operations to embrace sustainability metrics, there’s a sea of change happening—and its waters are decidedly green.

A company that has been focusing heavily on sustainability is Honeywell, a Fortune 100 technology firm that delivers industry-specific solutions that include aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings and industry; and performance materials globally. The organization’s technologies help aircraft, buildings, manufacturing plants, supply chains, and workers become more connected to make our world smarter, safer, and more sustainable.

We spoke to Norman Gilsdorf, President for Honeywell ASEAN who explained that Honeywell has a long history of improving its own environmental and sustainability profile while providing innovative products and services that improve its customers’ profiles as well. This includes continuing its investment in its plants and in new technologies that will reduce our carbon footprint and contribute significantly to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
