SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
“ We also have a real focus on measurement . In fact , we ’ ve been measuring our company ’ s sustainability for several years , measuring our improvement in each of our facilities , each of our manufacturing plants and very aggressively looking at our suppliers . It ’ s not just one or two things we can do ourselves . We realise we have to do it throughout our ecosystem . We take that mentality when we go talk to our customers , whether they ’ re building a new manufacturing facility or , in my case , a data centre .”
Now that Schneider Electric ’ s ascent to a pinnacle of sustainability is getting recognised in the business mainstream , McKernan says it is the drive to continuously improve that both led it there and will keep it there into the future : “ There ’ s more to the equation of helping the customers , whether it ’ s through the design process , through the build process or through the operational process .”
“ We want to be our customers ' partner for efficiency and sustainability – helping them drive energy efficiency throughout all parts of that life cycle . So , I would say that the journey continues , but I can tell you it ’ s a very effective conversation for clients that are looking for companies to help them drive sustainability in these spaces .” datacentremagazine . com 39
