Schneider Electric announced that the Schneider Electric Sustainability School is open for enrollment. Free to access, the digital platform provides a range of interactive courses aimed at equipping companies and professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to improve their sustainability performance. First launched internally to educate Schneider Electric employees to better support the company’s partner ecosystem, the three-part program is now available externally for professionals and companies of all sizes, empowering them to take a first step towards a more sustainable future.
Schneider Electric operates as an Impact Company, placing sustainability at the core of its business to achieve a positive, lasting impact on the planet and society. With Electricity 4.0 at the heart of program, the Sustainability School complements and strengthens this commitment, supporting partners in accelerating climate action across three core pillars: strategize, digitize and decarbonize.
Recognizing that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often lack the knowledge and tools required to establish climate targets, to measure impacts such as carbon emissions, and to benchmark and disclose progress, this comprehensive training platform is designed to support industrial professionals in embarking on their decarbonization journey. Over three chapters, it covers a range of topics from energy efficiency and renewable energy to the circular economy and sustainable transportation.
· Chapter 1: Understanding sustainability and the risks involved. In the first chapter, attendees will learn the basics of sustainability, including the science and jargon behind it and why it is crucial for businesses to consider environmental, social and governance factors (ESG).
· Chapter 2: Discover how to take sustainable action as a company. The second chapter focuses on how SMEs can build a decarbonization strategy, including information on easy-to-implement tools that can support attendees in decarbonizing their own operations and those of their customers.
· Chapter 3: Leverage sustainable skills to increase business opportunities. The third chapter summarizes the key knowledge and tools learned throughout the program—from energy efficiency to decarbonization—to support attendees in putting the theory into practice.
“The Sustainability School for partners is our big next move to prove that companies can not only do business that is better for the planet but can also fundamentally improve their performance by doing so,” said Sorouch Kheradmand, head of partner sustainability at Schneider Electric. “We are proud to announce the launch of our new online courses, which are designed to educate and inspire individuals and organizations to adopt sustainable practices. Sustainability is at the heart of our business, and we believe that education is key to driving change and creating a more sustainable future.”
