Efforts support Schneider Electric’s broader ambition to help customers, says Udai Singh
Schneider Electric Infrastructure Limited (SEIL) is extending its sustainability efforts beyond its own operations through initiatives such as the Zero Carbon Project, which is supporting suppliers in reducing their carbon emissions.
In parallel, the company is advancing the adoption of SF₆-free technologies, including pure air and vacuum insulation, to help reduce high-impact emissions across the electrical ecosystem, Udai Singh, MD & CEO, Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd, said on 23 Oct from New Delhi.
Together, these initiatives reflect SEIL’s approach to strengthening sustainability across its operations, products and value chain. The two recognitions further strengthen SEIL’s commitment to advancing responsible business practices and supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem, he underlined.
“These efforts support Schneider Electric’s broader ambition to help customers, partners and communities accelerate their sustainability journeys while strengthening long-term business resilience part of Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, has been recognised for excellence in sustainability and corporate governance, reflecting its continued progress in decarbonisation, operational efficiency and responsible business practices,” he said.
SEIL has been awarded the Excellence in Sustainability Award in the Manufacturing Corporate category at the 4th Annual Sustainability development and governance, while the Golden Peacock recognition reflects the company’s focus on transparency, accountability, ethical business practices and responsible decision-making.
