Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced the winners of the first ever global Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards for its partners.
Announced at this year’s Innovation Summit, the awards recognise partners that are concerned about climate change and under pressure to address the issue for shareholders, customers, employees, and our next generations.
Toyota Motor Corp Australia was awarded as the winner of the ‘Sustainability Impact to my company’, with BE Switchcraft announced as the runner up in this category.
SAGE Automation was the other winner of the night, claiming the award for ‘Sustainability Impact to my customer’, with runner up Azzo Pty Ltd.
“At Schneider Electric, we want to celebrate the efforts of our partners as they commit to making their businesses more sustainable. We’ve seen various achievements from our inaugural Australian winners, Toyota Motor Corp Australia and SAGE Automation, and would like to congratulate them on winning these awards in recognition of their work.
“As the issue of climate change becomes increasingly front of mind for people around the world, more businesses must follow the lead of organisations like Toyota and SAGE and commit to decarbonising their operations. For those unsure of how to take the first step, there are an abundance of tools available to help make us less carbon intensive and more energy efficient,” said Farokh Ghadially, Vice President, Channels & Partners, Pacific Zone at Schneider Electric.
The Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards were launched earlier this year to celebrate and recognise the pivotal role that Schneider’s extensive network of partners play in delivering a more resilient and sustainable electric world. Participants are carefully assessed on how they are leveraging energy, and digital and automation solutions in operations, reducing energy usage, increasing operational efficiency, and embracing circularity across the value chain.
The awards are intended for Schneider Electric partners which include homebuilders, IT partners, switchboard manufacturers, design firms, contractors, system integrators, EcoXperts, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), industrial automation system integrators, machine integrators, industrial automation distributors.
