Empowering an autonomous, sustainable future Hexagon corporate brochure

A note from Hexagon’s President and CEO The world faces a simple but daunting task: How can we collectively build a future that delivers growth, prosperity and sustainability? This is the urgent conundrum of our time, that our customers – whether leaders in industry or government – are looking to solve. For decades, growth and sustainability have been considered mutually exclusive, a zero-sum game with no clear winner. Yet, we are all beneficiaries of the innovations and ideas that have helped bring about astonishing improvements in people’s lives over the past century. Nobody wants to go backwards....

Breaking industry free from inertia The rich opportunities for the post-CO2 Generation For decades, industry rode a steep growth curve, fuelled by innovation and cheap fossil fuels. Today, we’re experiencing the consequences of that approach – business-as-usual has led to rampant waste and catastrophic environmental impacts. Hexagon is leading a new hypergrowth curve to address the fundamental sustainability challenges of our day: enabling data-driven, autonomous enterprises that transform the CO2 Generation to the Sustainable Generation. Chapter title Hexago

The CO2 Generation CO2 emissions have nearly doubled in the past 30 years. While the pace of year-on-year growth has slowed, significant declines have not been seen. We’re on the way to cementing our legacy as the CO2 Generation – the one that polluted and destroyed our planet without regard for the future. Global temperatures are expected to reach the critical threshold of 1.5⁰C above pre-industrial levels between 2030 and 2050. The case for industry to invest in systemic, sustainable change is only getting clearer while the cost of unsustainable industry practices continues to rise. Where some...

Key challenges facing industry Digitalisation As the amount of data becomes increasingly vast, industries are under pressure to modernise processes to support the growing reliance on technology and digital platforms. The war...
