<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the past few years, delivering sustainable solutions and reducing carbon emissions have moved up the corporate agenda. But while many people like talking about it, few are ready to act. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One reason that people claim that holds them back is that sustainability solutions come with a green premium  - which is</span> the additional cost of choosing a clean technology over one that emits a greater amount of greenhouse gases<span style="font-weight: 400;">. But that’s not always the case anymore. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this podcast, we are joined by the CEO & Co-founder of Ampd Energy, Brandon Ng. His company proves that you don't have to increase your costs to decrease your carbon emissions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">01:40 Intro to Brandon & Ampd Energy </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- How an approach from Gammon Construction in Hong Kong changed Ampd’s focus to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /> <br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">05:00</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ampd Energy targets the construction industry, which is an industry laggard when it comes to driving productivity and innovation. However, you are seeing very strong traction in your home market in Hong Kong. What is driving your success?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Sole focus is on the construction industry</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- First customer was a marquee company - Gammon Construction</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Electric Vehicles have been in Hong Kong for over 10 years, so battery technology is viewed as “ready for primetime”, not an emerging tech. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- The business case stacks up. Ampd Energy doesn’t come with a “green premium”, it actually reduces costs from the current solutions deployed. </span></p> <
