Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, pushed forward critical dialogue on the energy transition and achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals at the World Government Summit 2023.
As the region's most important platform for public-private partnerships and dialogue, the World Government Summit 2023 provided an opportunity for Schneider Electric to address global leaders on the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges – from climate change and the circular economy to gender equality and human rights.
“The world is placing greater priority on digitisation and efficient energy management as it collectively aims to bridge the energy transition,” said Manish Pant, Executive Vice President of International Operations, speaking on the sidelines of the World Government Summit today. “At Schneider Electric, we are leading private sector efforts and empowering like-minded industry players to cultivate a mindset transition that maximises results in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability. Platforms such as the World Government Summit enable us to spearhead critical dialogue and amplify our sustainability narrative.”
As a member of the Global Councils on SDGs, a network of experts and practitioners working to drive dialogue and action toward a better world, Schneider Electric is driving collaboration towards the Sustainable Development Agenda in the UAE. Schneider also pledged to ensure women occupy 30 percent of leadership roles by 2025 under a private sector plan launched by the UAE Gender Balance Council last year.
Schneider Electric has developed an integrated offer of technologies and solutions supporting the transition to a more electric, digital, decarbonized and decentralised energy. It maps progress against the SDGs through a range of metrics including the Schneider Sustainability Impact 2021-2025 program, which is designed to contribute towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
Schneider Electric is a world leader in energy management and automation. Its participation in the World Government Summit 2023 is a testament to its commitment to sustainability, public-private partnerships and the belief that access to energy is a fundamental human right.
