Schneider Electric announces the global winners of its inaugural Sustainability Impact Awards 2023
Six global partners recognized for outstanding performance in decarbonizing their own operations and that of their customers
Launched in 2022, the Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards celebrates leaders that prioritize innovation and decarbonization. Partners are afforded the opportunity to enter into two categories. The first, “Impact to My Company” recognizes those who exhibit outstanding sustainability leadership in their own operations. The second, “Impact to My Customers” rewards those who demonstrate exceptional sustainability leadership by helping customers achieve their decarbonization goals.
Entrants were assessed based on their successful implementation of innovations, products, and digital solutions to electrify operations, reduce energy supply, increase operational efficiency, and embrace circularity across the value chain. Winners are accorded significant benefits, including global visibility, a valuable credential, and new business opportunities. The awards also provide a first-of-its-kind educational program for partners in the industry.
