In October 2024, TIME published an article highlighting leading companies who are taking significant steps to address climate change by decarbonizing their supply chains. This involves not only reducing their own emissions but also helping their suppliers and customers lower theirs, focusing on Scope 3 emissions. Suppliers, particularly smaller ones, often lack the resources or expertise necessary to decarbonize, making major corporations are a critical resource to support their journeys.
Schneider Electric stands out in this effort, building its business around supply chain decarbonization. The company has developed programs to assist various industries, including pharmaceuticals, mining, and semiconductors, in reducing their carbon footprint. Schneider Electric collaborates with giants like Walmart, offering suppliers educational programs and practical decarbonization solutions.
Two notable platforms powered by Schneider Electric, Zeigo Activate and Zeigo Hub, are central to these efforts.
Zeigo Activate empowers suppliers with tools to measure and manage emissions, allowing users to calculate, monitor, and reduce their emissions on the same platform.
Zeigo Hub creates a customizable program wherein large corporates can provide their suppliers with critical educational materials and track their decarbonization progress as they go.
Together, these platforms exemplify Schneider Electric’s innovative approach, enabling suppliers to actively engage in sustainable practices and join a broader network committed to environmental progress.
Actively helping over 2,200 suppliers decarbonize, Schneider Electric is leading the charge in creating a more sustainable future. The company’s approach is empowering and forward-thinking, inviting businesses to collaborate in this crucial mission. Through professional yet approachable guidance, Schneider Electric makes complex topics like decarbonization accessible, helping transform industries toward a greener future.
