1. Do you Strategize?

Yes

A. Does your customer have a decarbonization plan with milestones? If so, please share your roadmap/plan.

B. Have you or your customer completed Sustainability School? If so, please share the Sustainability School completion certificate

2. Do you Digitize?

Yes

A. Are you helping a customer deploy centralized utility data management and monitoring software for energy and carbon analysis and reporting?

As a founding member of both the APAC Alliance and C4s alliance have relationships with many substation, process control and Utility companies. Vmware and Schneider are members on the vPAC Alliance. We enage with ABB, Siemens, Schneider, GE, SRP, Intel, Dell, Advantech and many others.

B. With your help, is a customer metering major energy loads to uncover opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions?

For 25 years VMware has been focused on energy reduction across the global 500. Energy, Utility, manufacturing companies have benefited from our technology to significantly reduce their carbon footprints

C. Are you helping a customer monitor energy efficiency and equipment performance to gain actionable insights?

Vmware provides Cross-Cloud management tools that allow our joint customers to monitor and report on their IT energy savings and cost avoidance. We have >500 thousand global customers that leverage our technology to avoid costly Data Center builds, reduce power, cooling, and electricity needs by reducing their physical IT infrastructure needs.

D. Are you enabling a customer to use power management and monitoring solutions to assess power quality and increase business resiliency and continuity?

Yes, Schneider & Aveva technology run on the VMware platform that can also be extended to both the Schneider Edge or to your end customers. (i.e. Process automation, OPA, sustainability dashboards, etc.).

E. On behalf of a customer, have you deployed innovations to maximize the efficiency and digitalization of their operations?

F. Have you implemented asset upgrades and modernization programs for a customer to optimize and increase the longevity of their plant equipment and avoid emissions ?

G. Have you embraced the digital integration of power and process for a customer as a way to minimize energy consumption while optimizing their process?

3. Do you Decarbonize?

Yes

A. Are you enabling a customer to use automation and energy management systems to control their equipment and systems?

VMware vRealize® OperationsTM Green Data Center dashboard helps customers identify progress made and recommendations for improvement in their energy usage and carbon footprint.

B. With your help, has a customer implemented practices that have increased their energy efficiency?

Launched disaster recovery as a service, which eliminates on-premises backup data centers with minimal infrastructure footprint, enabling customers to significantly reduce their energy and carbon footprints.

K. Have you helped a customer create a commitment program with their suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions?

L. With your help, has a customer adopted a commitment program with their upstream suppliers and downstream distribution partners to track and reduce Scope 3 emissions?

M. Have you enabled a customer to use digital modeling to capture embodied carbon data from materials and equipment?

N. Have you helped a customer incorporate electric vehicle charging infrastructure for fleets, employees, and/or customers into their operations? 

O. With your guidance, has a customer converted some of their fleet to electric vehicles?

P. Have you enabled a customer to electrify some of their operations to reduce Scope 1 emissions and enable use of renewables to shrink their carbon footprint? What percentage of your customer's operations have been electrified?

Q. Have you advised a customer to purchase low-embodied carbon materials and equipment?

R. With your help, is a customer using condition-based maintenance to extend equipment life, delay the purchase of new equipment, and reduce the associated embodied carbon?

S. Based on your advice, is a customer purchasing carbon offsets to balance any residual Scope 1 and 3 emissions?
