Mary from Schneider Electric shares insights into the company’s deep commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, with a particular focus on procurement and supply chains. Schneider Electric supports organizations on their sustainability journey through strategic consulting, decarbonization roadmaps, and reporting services.
Her talk outlines a clear three-step approach to decarbonization: Design, Engagement, and Implementation. Mary emphasizes that the majority of corporate emissions come from the supply chain (Scope 3), making it crucial to set clear goals and foster strong collaboration with suppliers.
She highlights the dual benefits of renewable energy—not only as a climate-positive solution but also as a cost-effective strategy that reduces risk. She discusses various sourcing options, including on-site solar installations, utility-supplied renewable energy, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which help bring new renewable capacity to the grid.
Mary also presents two key initiatives by Schneider Electric:
The Zero Carbon Project, aimed at significantly reducing emissions from the company’s top 1,000 suppliers.
The Energize Program, which helps pharmaceutical and healthcare companies understand and access renewable energy.
She concludes by inviting questions and stressing the importance of collaboration and cross-industry networking to accelerate progress on sustainability.
