Sustainability is a global imperative, but the journey to achieving it is anything but uniform. Regulatory frameworks, market dynamics, and cultural expectations vary dramatically across regions, shaping how organizations set and realize their sustainability goals. At Publicis Sapient, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient. Our experience across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and the Middle East demonstrates that success lies in tailoring digital transformation and sustainability strategies to local realities—unlocking both environmental and business value.
North American organizations face a complex landscape marked by aging infrastructure, extreme weather events, and a patchwork of regulatory requirements. Utilities and energy companies are under pressure to modernize the grid, integrate renewables, and deliver reliable service amid increasing volatility.
A leading North American energy trading company partnered with Publicis Sapient to modernize its ETRM architecture. The result: improved operational agility, enhanced support for renewables, and a stronger foundation for decarbonization.
Europe is at the forefront of sustainability, driven by ambitious decarbonization targets and evolving market mechanisms. Regulatory mandates such as the EU’s net-zero goals are pushing utilities to integrate renewables at scale and innovate in customer experience.
A major European utility transformed its customer experience with Publicis Sapient, earning industry recognition for digital engagement and achieving deeper customer loyalty while advancing its sustainability agenda.
APAC is experiencing rapid urbanization and surging energy demand, requiring scalable, flexible solutions. The region’s diversity means that regulatory reforms and market maturity vary widely, but the need for real-time visibility and actionable insights is universal.
Publicis Sapient helped a regional provider build scalable digital platforms to support urbanization and rising demand, enabling new customer engagement models and operational agility.
The Middle East is embracing diversification away from hydrocarbons, with flagship smart city initiatives setting new benchmarks for sustainable urban development. Regional leaders are leveraging digital transformation to modernize operations and support ambitious sustainability goals.
