Schneider Electric announces global winners of second edition of
its Sustainability Impact Awards
- 12 global partners, customers, and suppliers
recognized for outstanding performance
in either decarbonizing their own
operations or decarbonizing the operations of their
customers
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of
energy management and automation, today announced the global
winners of the latest Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact
Awards. The winners were commended for their pioneering
decarbonization efforts, both within and beyond their
organizations.
Launched in 2022, the awards honor the contribution of
Schneider's partner ecosystem in creating a more sustainable and
electric world. This year, Schneider broadened the scope of
eligible companies to include customers and suppliers as well as
channel partners.
This year, entrants were assessed on their integrated approach
to sustainability, their efforts to Electrify, Reduce, and Replace
and their endeavours to create a Electricity 4.0 future through
actions to Strategize, Digitize, and Decarbonize.
These include improving energy efficiency and implementing
digital tools and technologies as well as other examples of impact
and innovation. Selection criteria also incorporated wider efforts
to achieve net-zero targets through the electrification and
digitization of operations. In addition to receiving valuable
recognition, award winners benefit from global visibility which
could lead to new business opportunities.
“The Sustainability Impact Awards has been a
great platform for us to celebrate the valuable contributions made
by our customers and partners worldwide towards decarbonizing not
only their own operations but beyond. It remains crucial that we
work together to achieve our collective sustainability goals, and
we value the opportunity to learn from one another. By opening
the Awards to partners, customers and suppliers this year, we hope
that in sharing their stories, they will serve as inspiration to
organizations worldwide embarking on their decarbonization journey.
Massive congratulations to the winners for their exceptional
commitment towards making a positive impact,” Rohan Kelkar,
EVP for Global Power Products at Schneider Electric
said.
