Sustainability Impact to my Enterprise

Register on the platform, choose an awards category and submit a proposal in English or your local language. As you prepare your submission in this category, please speak to the following three questions:

• Strategize – Have you helped a customer develop decarbonization plan with milestones?
• Digitize – Are you helping a customer measure and monitor their energy and carbon?
• Decarbonize – Are you helping a customer to take steps to minimize their carbon output?

The deadline for the submission will be on 8 Dec 2023 at 11:59pm GMT+0. No submissions will be accepted after this deadline.

At the end of Phase I, a jury, composed of Schneider Electric employees, will select regional/national winners.

The selection criteria will include consideration of Schneider Electric integrated approach, Strategize, Digitize and Decarbonize: from strategy to execution.

The Decarbonize section will focus on the four key levers of decarbonization:

• Electrification of operations to accelerate progress on our collective path to a net-zero world. A robust electrical infrastructure might include EVLink charging capabilities to maximize user satisfaction while optimizing CapEx and OpEx; reliable and resilient electrical distribution with SeT series MV/LV equipment; monitoring and protection with PacT series circuit breakers and PowerLogic relays and meters; integrated DC systems in a hybrid electrical network to better manage increased power consumption; and TransferPacT source-changeover devices for improved resiliency.
  
  
• Reduction of energy use and carbon footprint through digitalization and smart operations. Natively connected equipment such as PrismaSeT Active and connectible PacT series and PowerLogic products gather data required for visualization and informed decision-making. Energy-efficient power distribution systems, including Galaxy series UPS, Altivar variable speed drives, and TeSys Island digital load management solutions improve end-to-end energy consumption. And EcoStruxure Power edge control software and/or advisory services can help optimize system operations and maintenance.
  
  
• Replacement of resources with sustainable packaging, eco-friendly products, and materials and space optimization. Recycled cardboard and reusable containers used in Schneider Electric packaging keep excess waste off job sites and out of landfills. Green Premium products conform to rigorous environmental regulations, including full transparency on their environmental impact. And Okken/BlokSet busbars and Canalis Track busways optimize space and materials.
  
  
• Engagement of supply and value chains to advance vendor and supplier decarbonization and circular business practices. Circular Certified Schneider Electric products reduce waste within product life cycles. And hardware-agnostic EcoStruxure software accelerates the digital transformation of power distribution while improving life cycle efficiency and sustainability.

A new jury, composed of Schneider Electric senior leaders, will select Global winners from the regional/national winners.

The selection criteria will include consideration of:

• Adherence to the Official Terms & Conditions of the program
• Innovation: How does the idea introduce a new, creative, innovative, unique, and/or compelling solution related to the case?
  
• Technical feasibility: How feasible is it to implement your proposal from a technical perspective?
• Economic feasibility: How does it fit in with Schneider Electric’s current business scope?

Following the selection process, global winners will be invited to an exclusive Green Carpet Event. The event will allow unprecedented access to some of the key senior figures within Schneider Electric and will include 1:1 VIP Dinners, round table opportunities, access to expert panels, and will culminate in an awards ceremony to celebrate the winning achievements.
