Schneider Electric launched its inaugural Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards, the first initiative from the company's Partnering for Sustainability Program, which is designed to recognize the critical role partners of Schneider play in delivering a more resilient, sustainable electric world.
The Partnering for Sustainability program is a continuation of Schneider’s vision to leverage its extensive ecosystem to empower partners to move toward a more sustainable future. It includes comprehensive education and training, a simplified product portfolio, an open and collaborative support ecosystem, and digital knowledge and expertise. By providing four easy steps for partners to follow to future-proof their businesses, the program aims to empower partners to become more sustainable in their own practices and supporting their customers on the path to net zero.
The Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards will recognize partners ranging from IT partners, panel builders, system integrators, contractors, industrial automation distributors and OEMs, in two categories:
- Sustainability-Impact for my company: Recognizing partners who exhibit sustainability leadership in decarbonizing their operations
- Sustainability and Efficiency-Impact for customers: Recognizing partners who demonstrate sustainable leadership by enabling their customers achieve their decarbonization goals
Entries will be carefully evaluated on how they are leveraging Schneider Electric solutions to electrify their operations, reduce energy supply, increase operational efficiency and embrace circularity across the value chain.
