In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, host Lisa Ann Pinkerton speaks with Vanessa Miler-Fels, VP of Climate and Environment at Schneider Electric, about the complexities of decarbonizing global supply chains.

Drawing on her extensive expertise in climate strategy, Vanessa discusses how Schneider Electric is helping its top one thousand suppliers work towards net zero target, highlighting the influence of climate regulation and the geographic variations in decarbonization efforts.

Key insights:

• Measuring Scope 1 and 2 emissions are the first step in a company’s sustainability journey, to develop a tailored strategy before tackling Scope 3 emissions including supply chain.

• Electrification and transition to renewable energy sources are key for companies aiming to reduce their environmental impact and contribute to reaching global climate targets.

• Science-based targets are the foundation for businesses to stay on track to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, aligning their decarbonization strategies with the latest climate science.
