Welcome to the Schneider Electric corporate Website

By leveraging Electricity 4.0, we can address and overcome the dual climate and energy crises, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Overview

  • The world is at an inflection point, brought on by the short-term energy crisis and long-term climate crisis.
  • To tackle these dual crises, we must focus on energy — the source of 80% of carbon emissions.
  • Electricity 4.0 is the key to transforming the energy landscape with sustainable, digital and electric solutions.

Digital drives efficiency. By leveraging digitized technology, we can better understand how we use energy and automate processes for optimized consumption. Not to rely on less, but to eliminate waste.

Electric makes energy green. Clean, renewable energy is the best vector for achieving net-zero because it can be decarbonized progressively over time.

What decarbonization activities are pursued most today?

Replace and generate energy supply

The most common steps focus on scope 1 and scope 2 emissions — things organizations can most easily control, such as switching to a clean energy supply.
Scope 1 & Scope 2
56% Purchasing renewables
42% Distributed energy resources
Other common actions being taken
54% Sustainable messaging
51% Define ambition / set targets

Reduce for efficiency & circularity

While every effort counts, addressing energy supply is only half the solution on our path to net zero.
Scope 3
44% Reducing consumption
42% Supply chain decarbonization
40% Drive circularity

Electrify processes

It is equally as important to focus on energy demand; reducing consumption and electrifying processes is the fastest way to achieve results in the short term.
