- Excellence in Sustainability Award from ICC and Excellence in
Corporate Governance at the Golden Peacock Awards
- Achieves 100% renewable electricity across manufacturing sites
and an approximately 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions over three
years
New Delhi, 23rd October
2026 : Schneider Electric Infrastructure Limited
(SEIL), part of Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, has been
recognised for excellence in sustainability and corporate governance,
reflecting its continued progress in decarbonisation, operational efficiency
and responsible business practices.
SEIL has been awarded the Excellence in
Sustainability Award in the Manufacturing Corporate category at the 4th Annual
Sustainability Symposium & Excellence Awards 2026, organised by the Indian
Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Additionally, the company also received the Golden
Peacock Award 2026 for Excellence in Corporate Governance.
The ICC recognition acknowledges SEIL’s
performance across Carbon management, circularity, biodiversity, water
stewardship, social development and governance, while the Golden Peacock
recognition reflects the company’s focus on transparency, accountability,
ethical business practices and responsible decision-making.
Commenting on the recognitions, Mr.
Udai Singh, MD & CEO, Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd,
said, “Sustainability and governance are not separate priorities for
us. They are embedded in how we operate, make decisions and create value. These
recognitions validate the progress we have made in integrating sustainability
and governance into the core of our business. As India accelerates its energy
transition, we remain committed to delivering solutions that help customers
decarbonise while creating long-term value responsibly.”
A key focus of SEIL’s sustainability
ambition is reducing the environmental impact of its operations while improving
energy and resource efficiency. The company has adopted a decarbonisation
approach covering lifecycle carbon emissions, supported by renewable energy
adoption, energy efficiency, digital monitoring, supplier engagement and
investing in low carbon technologies.
SEIL has successfully achieved 100%
renewable electricity adoption across its manufacturing facilities through a
combination of on-site renewable energy and Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs). Alongside targeted energy-efficiency interventions such as load
optimization, power factor enhancement, occupancy-based controls, and advanced
energy monitoring, the organization has delivered an approximately 80%
reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions over the past three
years.
The company is also extending its sustainability
efforts beyond its own operations. Through initiatives such as the Zero
Carbon Project, SEIL is supporting suppliers in reducing their carbon
emissions. In parallel, the company is advancing the adoption of SF₆-free
technologies, including pure air and vacuum insulation, to help reduce
high-impact emissions across the electrical ecosystem.
Together, these initiatives reflect SEIL’s
approach to strengthening sustainability across its operations, products and
value chain. The two recognitions further strengthen SEIL’s commitment to
advancing responsible business practices and supporting the transition towards
a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem. These efforts support
Schneider Electric's broader ambition to help customers, partners and
communities accelerate their sustainability journeys while strengthening
long-term business resilience.
