"The biggest challenge for corporate sustainability is not money, technology, or political will. The real issue is the gap between ambition and the ability to deliver."
"When Schneider started its effort to cut emissions from its top 1,000 suppliers by 50% in five years, all 1,000 signed up within two weeks. However, about 84% of them did not fully understand what they had agreed to."
"Achieving success meant creating measurement tools, education programs, and action plans to help the whole ecosystem, not just individual companies."
"The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) market became more complex as it grew, and 10% fewer renewable deals closed in 2025 compared to 2024, as tech companies used up available clean energy."
The global energy system is transitioning from centralized fossil fuels to distributed renewables and becoming more digital. Corporate sustainability faces challenges beyond money and technology, primarily the gap between ambition and delivery. Companies are committing to Science-Based Targets faster than they can build necessary infrastructure. While scope one and two emissions are improving, scope three emissions from supply chains remain problematic. Schneider's zero-carbon supplier program illustrates the need for measurement tools and education to support the entire ecosystem in achieving sustainability goals.
