Leading electrical manufacturer Schneider Electric has acquired EcoAct SAS, an international leader in climate consulting and net zero solutions headquartered in Paris, France.
“The acquisition represents the coming together of two best-in-class organisations to accelerate business solutions that deliver true value for climate and clients,” says Steve Wilhite, President of Sustainability Business for Schneider. “EcoAct’s portfolio of net zero and nature-based products and services, including consulting, climate data tools, and carbon offset project development, will expand and accelerate Schneider Electric’s global Sustainability Business, a leading provider of advisory services in the areas of energy management, energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental commodity procurement, sustainability and net zero consulting, climate risk, sustainability communications, and reporting and disclosure.”
Schneider’s current advisory services support the development of sustainability strategy and target setting through to decarbonisation, enhanced by its Artificial Intelligence-led portfolio of digital and data management tools. “We have long admired the team at EcoAct, and bringing our two organisations together will help us to accelerate the ability to serve our clients all over the world,” said Wilhite. “Companies understand the urgency to act but continue to face complexities when it comes to decarbonisation. I’m confident that our combined best-in-class teams will help our clients to accelerate faster towards their net zero ambitions.”
