Schneider Electric launches inaugural Global Partner Recognition Program

Schneider Electric has announced the launch of the inaugural Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards, the first initiative from the Partnering for Sustainability Program, to recognize the critical role that Schneider’s partners play in delivering a more resilient and sustainable electric world.

The Partnering for Sustainability program builds on Schneider’s efforts to empower its vast ecosystem of partners to move toward a more sustainable future. It includes comprehensive education and training, a simplified product portfolio, an open and collaborative support ecosystem, and access to digital transformation expertise and resources.

“We are all on the same mission – to accelerate the path to net-zero. At Schneider, we want to recognize those who are embedding positive change in their business operations. Partners who excel at this set a precedent for others to follow.” said Rohan Kelkar, Executive Vice President of Power Products at Schneider Electric. “We know there’s power in numbers and together we can deliver a significantly larger impact through considered sustainable and efficient practices.”

The program is designed to empower partners to become more sustainable in their own practices and to support their customers on the path to net-zero energy. It consists of four simple steps that partners can take to future-proof their businesses.

The Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards will recognize a diverse range of partners in two categories:

1. Sustainability: Impact on my company: for partners who exhibit sustainability leadership in decarbonizing their operations,
2. Sustainability and Efficiency: Impact for customers: for partners who demonstrate sustainability leadership by helping customers to achieve their decarbonization goals.

Entries will be evaluated based on how they use energy and automation digital solutions to electrify operations, reduce energy supply, increase operational efficiency, and embrace circularity throughout the value chain.

The Awards will be open to all organizations around the world that collaborate with Schneider Electric to improve efficiency and sustainability.

Homebuilders, IT Partners, Partner Builders, Design Firms, Contractors, System Integrators, EcoXperts, OEMs, Industrial Automation System Integrators, Machine Integrators, or Industrial Automation Distributors are all eligible to participate in the program.
