Schneider Electric Unveils Chapter 3 of Free Sustainability School to Drive Decarbonization through Electrification and Digitalization

(IN BRIEF) Schneider Electric has introduced Chapter 3 of its free online Sustainability School to help channel ecosystem partners lead corporate decarbonization efforts. Building on the program’s initial courses in sustainability fundamentals and decarbonization strategy, this chapter focuses on practical applications of electrification and digitalization to cut emissions and enhance profitability. It offers sector-specific roadmaps for Power and Buildings, IT, Residential, and Industrial Automation, covering topics from embodied carbon reduction and automated energy monitoring to prosumer models and sustainable system design. By providing actionable tools and customized strategies, Chapter 3 aims to turn sustainability into a tangible business advantage, reinforcing Schneider Electric’s commitment to empowering partners amid escalating climate risks.

(PRESS RELEASE) RUEIL-MALMAISON, 27-Jun-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Schneider Electric—renowned for spearheading the digital revolution in energy management and automation—has unveiled Chapter 3 of its complimentary Sustainability School, an online training initiative crafted to empower its channel partners to spearhead sustainability efforts.

This newest installment delivers in-depth guidance on decarbonization, illustrating how electrification and digital tools can drive both environmental and financial gains. Recent studies warn that neglecting physical climate risks may erode up to 7 percent of annual profits by 2035, underscoring the imperative for decisive corporate climate strategies. Chapter 3 meets this need head-on, equipping organizations with pragmatic tactics to bolster resilience and profitability in an era of accelerating climate change.

Since its external launch in 2023, the Sustainability School has offered interactive, three-part coursework to help businesses elevate their sustainability credentials. Chapters 1 and 2 laid the groundwork—covering sustainability fundamentals and outlining how to craft and execute a decarbonization roadmap. Now, Chapter 3 zeroes in on leveraging advanced energy efficiency, trimming carbon footprints, and capitalizing on sustainability as a market differentiator.

Participants will receive bespoke action plans tailored to four critical sectors:

• Power and Buildings: Techniques to minimize embodied carbon; automated systems to track and curtail energy use and emissions; strategies for electrifying transport; modernization of building controls and electrical networks; and integration of on-site renewables.

• Information Technology (IT): Approaches for harnessing digital platforms to gather sustainability metrics and pioneer decarbonization through cutting-edge IT solutions.

• Residential: Methods to shrink household carbon footprints via energy-efficient retrofits; enabling homeowners as prosumers; and advancing green initiatives in multi-dwelling complexes.

• Industrial Automation: Frameworks for embedding sustainability from the ground up; deployment of variable speed drives (VSDs) and motor management systems; and engineering of system architectures centered on eco-performance.
  

By introducing hands-on tools and proven solutions, Chapter 3 transforms lofty sustainability goals into tangible business opportunities—strengthening operational performance while creating value for customers.

“I’m excited to launch this pivotal chapter of our Sustainability School,” said Sorouch Kheradmand, Head of Partner Sustainability at Schneider Electric. “It brings together all the insights and tools needed for our partners and customers to embed sustainability into their operations and offerings.”

Frederic Godemel, EVP of Energy Management at Schneider Electric, added, “As the world electrifies and digitizes, our partners hold the key to today’s energy challenges. Every enterprise—no matter its scale—can leverage sustainability to gain a competitive edge, melding environmental stewardship with economic growth.”
