Entry Overview
Schneider Electric’s procurement team has taken decisive action to decarbonise its top 1,000 suppliers, around one-third of which are located in the Asia Pacific region, while also increasing the use of ‘green’ materials in its products and packaging and promoting decent working conditions throughout its supply chain. Judges praised Schneider’s “ecosystem approach”, or its efforts to extend the scope of its sustainability strategy beyond its immediate suppliers.
Judges' feedback
This is a winning entry because Procurement was able to campaign the sustainability (TZCM) movement even to their suppliers who had no awareness by educating and engaging them and expanding it even beyond the Schneider business. Not only did they focus on their ecosystem through circular supply chain and responsible sourcing, but they were able to influence external parties exponentially through the act for climate approach. Impressive how they went beyond their ecosystem.
