Schneider Electric, a leader in digital transformation in energy management and automation, has announced the launch of the third chapter of its online School of Sustainability, a free training program designed to provide partners with the tools to become leaders in sustainability.
This chapter is dedicated to teaching businesses how to decarbonize and leverage the benefits of sustainability through electrification and digitalization. According to research, companies that fail to adapt to climate risks could lose up to 7% of their annual profits by 2035, underscoring the urgency of corporate climate action. The third section directly addresses this challenge by offering practical insights to help organizations remain resilient and profitable in a rapidly changing world.
The School of Sustainability, first launched to an external audience in 2023, offers interactive courses aimed at improving companies’ sustainability performance. The program consists of three parts and responds to the growing need for accessible, applied learning on key sustainability topics. Sections 1 and 2, which are already available, cover the basics of sustainability and the steps for building and implementing a decarbonization strategy.
Section 3 focuses on how companies can implement decarbonization through energy efficiency improvements, carbon footprint reduction, and leveraging the strategic advantages of sustainable development.
It presents individual roadmaps for key industries, including:
This section introduces practical tools and solutions that make sustainable transformation real and profitable for both businesses and their customers. It is a starting point for improving the efficiency of companies and turning sustainable development into a competitive advantage.
“I am proud to launch the new section of our School of Sustainable Development — it is an important step that brings everything together into a single, coherent system. As part of our ongoing support for partners and customers on their path to sustainability, this section will provide them with the tools and knowledge to implement sustainable development principles in their organizations and for their customers,” said Soroush Heradmand, Head of Partner Sustainability at Schneider Electric.

Ukraine has been included in the worldwide program of squash development “Ambassador WSF 2018,” which implies the organization of a whole range of activities aimed at promoting this racket sport in Ukraine. Within the framework of the worldwide squash promotion program, the delegation of the World Squash Federation led by its CEO Andrew Shelley, legendary multiple world champion Rami Ashour (Egypt), and six-time European champion Camille Serme will visit Ukraine.
