Schneider Electric launches Zeigo™ Hub, a scalable platform to accelerate the decarbonization of supply chains and achieve global net-zero ambitions
Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the launch of Zeigo™ Hub by Schneider Electric, a powerful new digital platform designed to help organizations decarbonize their supply chains at scale. This innovative solution marks a significant step forward, enabling companies to achieve their Scope 3 emissions targets and move confidently and clearly toward net-zero emissions.
Global supply chains are increasingly under pressure from customers and regulators to report, disclose, and take action to reduce their emissions.
Zeigo Hub addresses this growing need for progress and transparency by offering a modular, action-oriented approach to sustainability. The platform enables organizations to engage suppliers of all sizes, track emissions across multiple tiers of suppliers, and achieve measurable results through training, tools, and expert support.
“A decarbonized supply chain is no longer just a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a strategic necessity,” said Laura Eve, Vice President of SaaS Sustainability Solutions at Schneider Electric. “With Zeigo Hub, we are providing companies with the tools and analytics to help transform their supply chains into engines of sustainability.”
A new era of supplier engagement and innovation
Zeigo Hub is designed to engage suppliers at all stages of their sustainability journey, regardless of their size, maturity, or experience. The platform removes traditional barriers to participation with phased onboarding, a user-friendly interface, and built-in learning tools that allow suppliers to immediately begin calculating and managing their emissions.
Unlike static data collection tools, Zeigo Hub encourages two-way collaboration through personalized learning paths, decarbonization toolkits, and comparative analytics dashboards. This creates a dynamic and accessible environment where suppliers can make informed, measurable decisions and initiators (customers) can scale positive impact across their entire supply chain.
The platform’s powerful analytics engine provides real-time visualization of supplier engagement, emissions dynamics, and progress toward science-based targets.
The data is structured to support CDP, CSRD, and TCFD reporting, as well as internal sustainability reporting, ensuring transparency and compliance with global standards.
Each supplier invited to Zeigo Hub gets access to individual decarbonization roadmaps and verified solution providers, enabling real emissions reductions across the entire network. All participation costs are covered by the initiating company, removing financial barriers for suppliers and ensuring broad, inclusive engagement. As part of Schneider Electric, Zeigo Hub is an integral part of a global ecosystem of sustainability experts, advisory services, and decarbonization solutions, providing companies with deep support and trust that goes beyond traditional software.
Zeigo Hub leverages advanced agentic AI capabilities to accelerate decarbonization processes, improve data-driven decision-making, and scale impact across complex value chains. It is the first product launched as part of Schneider Electric’s AI-native ecosystem, unveiled on May 15, 2025, which combines the company’s leading expertise in sustainability with innovations in artificial intelligence. Thanks to agentic AI, the platform’s functionality improves and personalizes the user experience by simplifying data entry through web scraping and upload tools, tailoring invitations to participate, and providing additional oversight of the program on behalf of corporate sponsors.
Fostering global impact through collaboration
Schneider Electric is already a recognized leader in supply chain decarbonization, both through its collaboration with leading global brands and through its own award-winning internal initiative, the Zero Carbon Project.
Since 2021, the company has launched more than 20 global supply chain decarbonization programs, including the cross-industry initiatives Energize, Catalyze, and Materialize. Today, Schneider Electric collaborates with more than 40 brands that sponsor programs with over 2,700 registered suppliers.
Zeigo Hub will serve as the technological foundation and tool for collaborative action within supply chain decarbonization programs, making large-scale climate change more accessible than ever before. By facilitating collaboration between customers and suppliers, the platform helps companies foster a culture of continuous improvement and shared responsibility. This approach not only accelerates emissions reduction, but also increases supply chain resilience and strengthens long-term business value.
“Zeigo Hub is a bold step forward in the sustainable development of supply chains,” said Iv. “It’s about turning ambition into real action — empowering every supplier, every partner, and every organization to contribute to a zero-emission future.”
Zeigo Hub is now available to organizations worldwide. To learn more about how the platform can support your supply chain decarbonization transformation, visit https://www.zeigo.com/zeigo-hub.

The corn market is gradually shifting its focus to the new harvest, last year’s grain has almost lost its liquidity, and there are practically no real deals with it, At the same time, Europe is showing steady interest in
Ukrainian products, and demand from importers remains high, according to the analytical cooperative “Pusk,” created within the framework of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council (VAR).
“The new corn harvest is valued on the market in a wide range of $197-203 per ton. Some traders are already offering higher prices — $205-206 on a CPT-port basis with deliveries in October-November. Demand from importers is active, particularly from Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, with deliveries in November-December. The EU is facing serious yield problems. In France, the first threshing showed only 3-4 tons/ha. Other corn producers — Romania, Hungary, and Poland — are facing similar difficulties, forcing the EU to increase imports from the projected 18-19 million tons to 22-23 million tons, and Ukraine looks to be a key supplier here,” analysts noted.
According to their information, Ukrainian exporters have already sold about 4 million tons of the new harvest to importers with deliveries in November-December. However, there may be a shortage on the market due to weather conditions, which will further stimulate the growth of purchase prices.
“Traders may have to raise prices, but no significant growth is expected. One of the determining factors will be the progress of the harvesting campaign. Due to the delay in vegetation, the first significant batches of corn from the center and north will arrive only in the second half of October. We can predict indicative prices of $220 CPT port in October. However, during this period, American corn will actively enter the market. Its volume will significantly exceed demand, which will put serious pressure on prices in October-December. Therefore, in November-January, the market is likely to stabilize at $220-230 CPT port per ton, which is in line with seasonal patterns,” Pusk concluded.
In January-June 2025, Insurance Guarantees of Ukraine (IGU, Kyiv) collected UAH 784,000 in gross premiums, which is 20.8% more than in the same period of 2024, according to data from the rating agency Expert-Rating confirming the insurer’s financial stability rating for the first half of 2025 at “uaAA” on the national scale.
The information notes that during this period in 2025, the company did not make any insurance payments.
SGU’s equity capital for the reporting period decreased by 7.31% to UAH 50.86 million, while gross liabilities increased by 42.2% to UAH 1.46 million.
The amount of cash and cash equivalents in SGU’s accounts as of July 1, 2025, was UAH 43.77 million, which is 7.96% less than on the same date a year ago. At the same time, as of the beginning of the second half of 2025, the company was very well provided with highly liquid assets, the volume of which exceeded the insurer’s gross liabilities by almost 30 times, the RA notes.
The company’s activities in the first half of 2025 were unprofitable: the insurer incurred a net loss of UAH 1.232 million and an operating loss of UAH 2.025 million.
PJSC “SGU” was registered in November 2005. It has licenses to conduct 15 types of insurance activities: four for compulsory insurance and 11 for voluntary insurance.
