Every day, more organizations are joining the global effort to mitigate climate change by implementing ambitious sustainability initiatives and practices., a set of global standards that outlines three scopes to measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions.
“Many barriers have prevented businesses from decarbonizing, including a lack of awareness, a dearth of pragmatic tools, and limited access to resources and tools to design and execute their own effective decarbonization programs,” said Steve Wilhite, president of Schneider Electric Sustainability Business., Schneider Electric’s decarbonization software suite, empowers users on their path to decarbonization.
To simplify decarbonization efforts among their suppliers, major pharmaceutical corporations, including AstraZeneca, Novartis, and GSK, created, an initiative Schneider Electric manages, to help suppliers overcome financial and operational barriers to decarbonization by aggregating purchases of renewable energy. This Power Purchase Agreement strategy streamlines the energy-buying process and enables smaller suppliers to take advantage of economies of scale.
, Schneider Electric provides both Zeigo Hub and Zeigo Activate from the software suite to help suppliers measure their carbon emissions and use the information to identify and implement the most effective strategies to reduce them.
