Schneider Electric unveiled a digital platform to support businesses to ramp up supply chain decarbonisation and reach their climate goals, especially their scope 3 emission reduction targets.
The newly introduced Zeigo Hub allows companies to collaborate with suppliers of any size, track supplier participation and supply chain emissions, and get access to a suite of tools and expert guidance to drive measurable change.
Developed to facilitate internal sustainability reporting, Zeigo Hub is compliant with well-established frameworks like the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive of the European Union. Schneider Electric said this compliance is intended to enhance transparency and harmonisation with global reporting standards.
The analytics engine provides visibility into supplier engagement, emissions information, and science-based climate goals, underpinning supply chain decarbonisation as a strategic imperative. Schneider Electric indicated that Zeigo Hub empowers organisations to detect emission trends and enhance supplier cooperation in achieving emissions reduction objectives.
With the aid of advanced agentic artificial intelligence, Zeigo Hub, deployed within Schneider Electric’s AI-native ecosystem, facilitates data-driven decision-making and drives decarbonisation initiatives.
“Zeigo Hub’s agentic AI features will enhance and personalize the user onboarding experience by simplifying data entry with web scraping and uploading tools, customizing participation invitations, and providing additional program oversight on behalf of corporate program sponsors,” Schneider Electric said in a July 15 release.
The company stressed that suppliers who are invited to participate on the platform will be provided with tailored roadmaps and solutions for “concrete” emission reduction at scale. Sponsoring organisations cover all participation costs, removing any financial barriers and allowing broad engagement.
“A decarbonized supply chain is no longer a ‘nice to have’ — it’s a strategic imperative,” said Laura Eve, Vice President of SaaS Sustainability Solutions at Schneider Electric.
Zeigo Hub adds to Schneider Electric’s vast portfolio of climate-centric solutions. In September 2024, Schneider Electric launched the Building Decarbonisation Calculator, an online regulatory compliance tool that assists building stakeholders in estimating energy use intensity and carbon footprints along with mitigation strategies.
In July 2024, Schneider Electric also updated its cloud-based platform for energy and sustainability data management, EcoStruxure Resource Advisor. The upgrades were intended to help corporate compliance with regulatory regimes, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposed climate-risk disclosure rules and California’s climate laws.
Though the SEC has stopped defending its climate-risk rule, California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) has reiterated that its Golden State’s 2026 reporting deadlines hold firm. CARB is presently gathering information and plans to finalise the regulations for the state’s climate risk and emissions disclosure laws by the end of the year.
