Its operations are focused on making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green. It has extensive experience in helping companies to get the most out of carbon reporting under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an international, not-for-profit organization which provides the only global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information.
"We are honoured to become a CDP gold consultancy partner," said Steve Wilhite, Senior Executive at Schneider Electric Professional Services. "Schneider Electric's partnership with CDP has always been mutually beneficial and this next step will both companies to better serve the global sustainability community."
CDP works with market forces around the globe including 722 institutional investors with assets of 87 trillion US dollars in order to motivate companies to disclose their environmental impacts and take action to reduce them. It currently holds the largest global collection of primary climate change, water and forest risk commodities information and makes these resources available to companies at the heart of strategic business, investment and policy decisions.
"Partnering with Scheider Electric makes perfect sense due to the company's global expertise in the areas of sustainability services and environmental reporting," added Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP.
