About Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Consulting Arm

As the world’s most sustainable company – recently ranked by Sustainability Magazine in the Top 250 Sustainable Companies list – Schneider Electric’s sustainability covers three key areas: 

• Its own sustainability strategy
• Products that are designed to boost global decarbonisation for its clients
• Sustainability consulting

Schneider Electric’s consulting business has emerged as a cornerstone of its global strategy to accelerate the transition towards sustainability and decarbonisation for organisations worldwide. 

“At Schneider Electric, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do,” says Esther Finidori, Chief Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric.

“This recognition is a reflection not of a single moment, but of enduring passion and collective vision across our company. 

“Sustainability Magazine celebrates our ambitious targets and honest transparency approach to sustainability across our operations and supply chain — and the measurable impact we’re driving together.”

As the demand for climate action, energy resilience and ESG transparency intensifies, Schneider Electric has doubled down on expanding its consulting practice and digital solutions over the past year, positioning itself as the world’s leading advisor on energy management, carbon reporting and supply chain decarbonisation.

Expanding sustainability consulting

Beginning in 2023, Schneider Electric announced the rapid expansion of its sustainability consulting practice founded in 2011.

This included the acquisition of EcoAct, an international leader in climate consulting and net zero solutions, to meet the sharp rise in demand from corporates seeking effective energy transition strategies. 

The division now serves more than 40% of Fortune 500 companies across more than 100 countries, providing end-to-end services including climate action planning, risk management, circularity, traceability, ESG materiality assessment and market-leading renewables advisory. 

The company’s consulting teams support sectors from around the globe, from real estate and finance to commercial and industrial, guiding them on science based targets and transparent reporting.

Consulting services portfolio

Schneider Electric’s consultancy offering is built to address diverse organisational needs, such as:

• Sustainability strategy and climate action roadmaps
• Supply chain decarbonisation and climate risk assessment
• Communications services including CSR/ESG reporting and greenwash avoidance
• Circularity and traceability solutions
• Building decarbonisation, energy modelling, and building systems optimisation
• Digital transformation and enterprise energy management, enabled by award-winning platforms like EcoStruxure Resource Advisor.

The consulting business has played a leading role in interventions that avoided or saved up to 800 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent on behalf of customers ahead of its 2025 target.

With mounting global pressure for climate alignment, Schneider Electric’s consulting division stands out for offering one of the most comprehensive approaches to net zero and ESG transformation in the market today. 

Its momentum reflects growing corporate urgency – and a belief that decisive action by business leaders will shape a sustainable future for generations to come.
