"Schneider Electric introduces a new platform aimed at enhancing the reduction of carbon emissions within their supply chain"
In a significant stride towards sustainable business practices, Schneider Electric, a leading multinational company specializing in energy management and technology, has unveiled a digital platform called Zeigo Hub. This innovative tool is designed to help companies decarbonize their supply chains at scale by engaging suppliers of all sizes and tracking emissions across multiple tiers [1][3][5].
Zeigo Hub empowers supplier participation at every stage of the sustainability journey, removing traditional barriers with features like guided onboarding, a streamlined user interface, and educational tools that help suppliers calculate and manage their emissions immediately [1][3]. By doing so, it enables companies to track and manage emissions data across their entire supply chain, including multiple tiers of suppliers, providing real-time visibility into supplier engagement and emissions data [3][5].
The platform fosters two-way collaboration through tailored learning pathways, decarbonization toolkits, and benchmarking dashboards. This creates a dynamic environment where suppliers can take actionable steps toward reducing emissions, while companies can drive measurable results [1][2][3]. Zeigo Hub also leverages agentic AI to accelerate decarbonization efforts, enhance data-driven decision-making, and scale impact across complex value chains [1].
In addition to Zeigo Hub, Schneider Electric has also updated its cloud-based energy and sustainability data management platform, EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, in July 2024. The upgrades aim to help companies comply with regulations like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s climate-risk disclosure rule and California’s climate laws [6]. The platform supports internal sustainability reporting and disclosures aligned with the Carbon Disclosure Project, Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, and the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive [6].
The Building Decarbonization Calculator, another offering from Schneider Electric, is aimed at helping building owners and operators calculate their carbon emissions and energy use intensity [2]. This tool identifies potential reduction measures to help comply with regulations [4].
As the California Air Resources Board reiterates that the Golden State's 2026 reporting deadlines are firm [7], and CARB is currently in an information-gathering stage but hopes to finalize regulations for the state's climate risk and emissions disclosure laws by the end of the year [8], the need for such platforms becomes increasingly crucial. The Zeigo Hub allows companies to engage with suppliers of all sizes, track and manage emissions across their supply chain, and utilize tools and expertise to drive impactful results.
