Schneider Electric debuts energy efficiency, sustainability consulting service

Schneider Electric launched Oct. 22 its SE Advisory Services consulting program to help clients solve complex energy efficiency, sustainability and technology challenges by employing more holistic and integrated approaches to electrification, automation and digitalization.

“Uncertain times require clarity and knowledge about what can be controlled, so we’ve taken consulting capabilities from across Schneider Electric, and combined them to enable our clients to move with greater speed and confidence, and unlock capabilities to solve pressing energy, sustainability, and technology challenges,” says Frédéric Godemel, EVP for energy management, Schneider Electric. “Consulting services aren’t new at Schneider Electric, and have proven invaluable to clients in the past. Today, we’re evolving that offering to give clients clarity and a clear path toward net-zero.”

SE Advisory Services includes software and project implementation, and integrated services that accelerate energy and technology transitions. It supports enterprise-wide initiatives and site-level operations across four domains:

• Sustainable business and industrial transformation guides transition planning through digital transformation, process electrification, decarbonization, renewable energy, low-carbon infrastructure, circularity, and nature-based solutions and carbon offsetting to transform energy processes and core industrial operations.
• Risk management and resilience protects organizations from energy volatility, cybersecurity threats, climate risk and system disruptions to reduce downtime, harden connected systems and build operational resilience.
• Resource and asset performance evaluates resources and systems strategically to improve reliability, reduce waste and unlock resources to invest in growth.
• Intelligent software provides specialized software products embedded with native AI capabilities, and built on deep advisory expertise to connect fragmented workflows and turn insights into action.

Schneider Electric’s advisory practices also work together to ensure performance across an organization’s entire enterprise, addressing key factors, including decarbonization and circularity, cybersecurity and assets, systems and process transformation, and organizational governance for infrastructure modernization efforts.

“Energy, technology and software are now inseparable drivers of industrial progress,” says Gwenaelle Avice Huet, EVP for industrial automation at Schneider Electric. “Our consulting approach helps customers identify critical levers for transformation, unlocking the full potential of electrification, accelerating automation, embedding digitalization, and strengthening cybersecurity. With software at the core, we enable resilient, future-ready operations that adapt to market shifts and deliver long-term value.”
