Advancing decarbonisation in the pharmaceutical sector

Goals:

• Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 2035
• Improve operational resilience and business efficiency
• Enhance employee comfort, safety, and productivity

Takeda, a leading values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company, recognizes the clear link between human health and environmental health – especially due to heightened global healthcare concerns since the pandemic – and champions green action in all aspects of its operations.

To double down on its net-zero strategies while growing its business to meet increasing healthcare demands, Takeda partnered with Schneider Electric to incorporate state-of-the-art edge control solutions in its manufacturing support building in Singapore.

When global biopharmaceutical company Takeda invested in its production site in Singapore, it needed an advanced building management system and an energy-consumption monitoring system for its new manufacturing support building. It partnered with Schneider Electric to establish the first positive energy building in its global manufacturing network.

Tapping into Schneider Electric’s industry knowledge and expertise, Takeda deployed EcoStruxure Building, a collaborative Internet of Things (IoT) platform that encompasses solutions like EcoStruxure Building Operation, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and AVEVA System Platform, to help maximize building efficiency, optimize staff comfort and productivity, and increase building value.

Bolstered by the deployment of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure and AVEVA solutions, as well as other ongoing efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, Takeda’s manufacturing support building received the Green Mark Platinum Positive Energy certification from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority in November 2022.
