This concurs with the launch of the second Energize Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) cohort, enabling four global healthcare companies to buy 245 GWh of renewable electricity annually for the next 10 years. Efforts to reduce upstream carbon emissions have also been accelerated, achieving a 42% decrease from the company\u2019s top 1,000 suppliers.<\/p>\n

To date, 56 million people have gained access to energy through initiatives that develop clean energy solutions for education, healthcare, agriculture, and small businesses. Moreover, by signing the Rise Ahead Pledge recently, Schneider Electric is also working to expand access to essential services and promote socio-economic development, by focusing on energy poverty and impact investing in underserved markets.<\/p>\n

These programs aim to enhance the company’s sustainable impact by supporting and empowering local communities with training and mentoring, energy resiliency, environmental action, and more. For example, Schneider Electric UK and the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation have recently launched a STEM educational program to inspire local pupils with interactive workshops and digital resources, equipping them with essential skills for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Schneider, we believe in strong partnerships with corporations, governments, local partners, and communities to uplift livelihoods, boost incomes, and expand access to education and reliable, clean energy,\u201d said Chris Leong, Chief Sustainability Officer. \u201cI’m especially proud of our people\u2019s relentless pursuit to turn ambition into action, from innovating solutions for environmental impact to giving back to our communities. Together, we\u2019re making progress and sustainability a reality for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
