1. What is the Sustainability School Toolbox?
The Sustainability School Toolbox is a collection of practical guides, tools, and resources from Schneider Electric that helps businesses turn decarbonization goals into measurable results. It brings together insights on energy efficiency, circular economy practices, and product sustainability in one place.
The toolbox is organized around three pillars — digitize, decarbonize, and strategize — helping you move from ambition to action at every stage of your sustainability journey.
2. Who is the toolbox designed for?
The toolbox is designed for engineering consultants and designers, facility and energy managers, sustainability leads, and contractors working on commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure projects.
3. What is decarbonization and why does it matter for businesses?
Decarbonization is the process of reducing or eliminating carbon emissions from a business's operations, often starting with understanding where energy is used and lost across a facility's electrical infrastructure.
For businesses, decarbonization creates opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and growth, while helping meet increasingly strict regulatory and customer expectations around sustainability.
4. What is the circular economy approach to electrical equipment?
A circular economy approach focuses on extending the working life of electrical equipment, rather than replacing it, through retrofit, modernization, and condition-based maintenance.
This reduces both cost and environmental impact, and helps businesses get more value from equipment already in place, such as switchgear and distribution equipment, before considering full replacement.
5. How can I assess a product's sustainability?
Assessing a product's sustainability typically involves reviewing international environmental standards and declarations, such as product environmental labels, that provide independent, comparable information about a product's environmental impact.
The toolbox includes practical guidance to help procurement and design teams make more informed, evidence-based decisions when specifying or selecting products.
