New Delhi, June 4, 2025 : Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy
management and automation, and Farmson Basic
Drugs Pvt. Ltd., a key manufacturer in India’s pharmaceutical sector,
have partnered to drive a comprehensive sustainability transformation
initiative. This collaboration, initiated in February 2025, falls under
Schneider Electric’s flagship Green Yodha initiative and will enable Farmson
to embed sustainability deeply into its operations through strategic consulting
and digital solutions.
As part of this engagement, Schneider Electric will deliver its end-to-end
Sustainability Business offerings, helping Farmson define and execute a clear,
actionable path toward environmental excellence through a three-pronged
approach:
·
Strategize: Building a
comprehensive inventory of Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions, developing
science-based decarbonisation targets in alignment with the SBTi (Science-Based
Targets initiative), and supporting CDP Climate Change reporting. Schneider
Electric will also co-create a detailed ESG roadmap to guide Farmson’s
long-term sustainability journey.
- Digitize: Implementing Resource Advisor,
Schneider Electric’s digital sustainability platform, to enable tracking
& monitoring of key environmental indicators such as energy, water,
and emissions, helping Farmson digitize and streamline its ESG efforts.
- Decarbonise: Conducting energy and water
maturity assessments across Farmson’s three manufacturing sites,
identifying practical actions for reducing emissions, energy use, and water
consumption. The initiative will also support Scope 2 decarbonisation
through an increased share of renewable energy, ensuring long-term
operational efficiency with clearly defined investment and ROI metrics.
Commenting on the
initiative, Deepak Sharma, Zone President – Greater India, MD & CEO, Schneider
Electric India, said,
“At Schneider
Electric, we are committed to empowering industries with practical, data-driven
pathways to decarbonisation and sustainability. Through this collaboration, we
are bringing our global expertise in climate strategy and digital
transformation to help Farmson turn its sustainability ambitions into
measurable action. Together, we are building a robust ESG framework, driving
operational improvements, and delivering tangible outcomes that support growth,
resilience, and long-term value creation.”
Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Vinit Menon, CEO, Farmson, said,
“As a manufacturer in
a resource-intensive industry, we recognize the urgent need to operate more
responsibly — not just for the environment, but for the long-term health of our
business. Schneider Electric brings a structured and actionable approach to a complex
challenge. This partnership gives us the visibility, tools, and expertise we
need to take real steps toward reducing our emissions, optimizing energy and
water usage, and aligning with global sustainability benchmarks. Our goal is to
lead by example and demonstrate that sustainability and business performance
can go hand in hand.”
The project is expected to be completed by October 2025, delivering both
environmental benefits and operational cost savings, while setting a benchmark
for climate leadership in the pharmaceutical sector.
