Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced that applications are now open for the third installment of the Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards. Launched in 2022, the awards honor the contribution of Schneider’s partner ecosystem in creating a more sustainable and electric world. Submissions are open until October 15, 2024, and the global winners will be announced in early 2025.
The application and selection criteria reflect Schneider’s integrated approach to sustainability. The focus remains on decarbonisation efforts to electrify, reduce, and replace while also looking more broadly at endeavors to create an Electricity 4.0 future through actions to strategise, digitise, and decarbonise. This includes improving energy efficiency, implementing digital tools and technologies, and other examples of impact and innovation. In addition to receiving valuable recognition, award winners benefit from global visibility that could lead to new business opportunities.
“We believe that when innovation and commitment come together, we can drive meaningful changes and create lasting impact. This award program celebrates the #ImpactMakers who are relentless and passionate in turning ambition into action for a more sustainable, electric, and digital world,” stated Chris Leong, EVP Chief Marketing Officer, Schneider Electric.
Upon winning a 2023 global award, Henkel’s Global Key Account Manager Pia Oelze responded, “This award represents personal achievement, exceptional teamwork between Henkel and Schneider Electric to explore solutions-oriented sustainability programs, and the collective progress we have made to create a better tomorrow”.
