• First-of-its-kind global award platform celebrating industry leaders that prioritise innovation and decarbonisation
• Empowering partners to deliver digital transformation, sustainability, and efficiency in the new electric world
• Nominations are opening soon until November 25, 2022

Rueil-Malmaison, France – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the launch of the inaugural Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards, the first initiative from the Partnering for Sustainability Program, to recognise the critical role that Schneider’s partners play in delivering a more resilient and sustainable electric world.

The Partnering for Sustainability program is a continuation of Schneider’s initiatives to empower its extensive ecosystem of 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 access to expertise and resources on digital transformation.

Designed to empower partners to become more sustainable in their own practices and support their customers on the path to net-zero, the program provides four easy steps that partners can follow to future-proof their businesses.

The Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards will recognise a wide range of partners in two categories:

1. Sustainability. Impact on the company: for partners who exhibit sustainability leadership in decarbonising their operations,
2. Sustainability and Efficiency. Impact for customers: partners who demonstrate sustainability leadership by helping customers achieve their decarbonisation goals.

Entries will be carefully assessed on how they leverage the energy and digital automation solutions to electrify operations, reduce energy supply, increase operational efficiency and embrace circularity across the value chain.
