Why does the Environmental Data Programme matter for you?

The Environmental Data Programme empowers you to make fact-based decisions leveraging reliable and granular lifecycle-related data points. You will be able to differentiate your own value proposition by opting for more sustainable choices, and accurately evaluate and report on your own environmental footprint and CO₂ emissions reduction efforts.

Partner perspectives on Environmental Data Programme

“Giving customers access to transparent and factual product data to help them make informed decisions on the environmental impact of their choices is a must. We’re delighted Schneider Electric has taken this bold step forward, to allow us to distribute their products with confidence and trust.”

-Céline Coulibre – Dumenil, Chief Sustainability Officer | Rexel

“Making sustainability claims without data to back them up is becoming increasingly difficult. As such, it’s pleasing to see such a progressive move from Schneider with their Environmental Data Programme. Instead of telling the customers that a product is environmentally friendly, Schneider shows the details behind the claims, aligned to known industry standards, giving consumers the power to make an informed choice. I’d encourage the wider industry to take note and follow this model.”
