A New Era of Green IT In 2021, Schneider Electric launched Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSIs) to demonstrate the company’s sustainability commitments. In line with the SSI objectives, Elizabeth Hackenson, CIO of Schneider Electric, launched the company’s Green IT program, an IT sustainability initiative that identifies new ways to reduce carbon emissions in a smart way. To help the project achieve its goal of reducing IT emissions by at least 5% per year,

As part of the project, Schneider Electric has deployed EcoStruxure IT software at more than 140 key sites worldwide to help make the company’s IT operations more resilient and secure. The Green IT initiative has seen significant sustainability benefits from new capabilities within EcoStruxure IT, giving Schneider Electric greater visibility into its IT energy use. Using insights from EcoStruxure IT, the company was able to reduce energy use at its Lexington, Kentucky, smart factory by 30% in the second half of 2023 compared to the first half. In the process, Schneider Electric has also used key lessons and insights from its data to accelerate the development of new EcoStruxure IT reporting features announced today.

“When organizations want to reduce their IT and data center energy use and carbon footprint, they need to build a fact-based database. “With EcoStruxure IT, we continue to advance our mission to reduce IT energy consumption and environmental impact, and help the company further meet its sustainability goals. Today, we are making these benefits available to customers around the world.”
