SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Olivier Blum , Schneider Electric ’ s EVP Energy Management , on how the company strives to be an influential leader in sustainability theory and in practice
While some might consider over 30 years with one company as career stagnation , nothing could be further from the truth for Olivier Blum .
For Olivier , who is approaching 32 years of employment at Schneider Electric , the longevity has been driven by varied roles across different geographies , strategic opportunities – and passion for the sustainability vision that is the beating heart of Schneider .
Few global companies come close to matching this France-headquartered energy management and industrial automation company ’ s sustainability focus and results . Today , Schneider has gained a reputation as The Most Sustainable Company in the World ( TIME and Statista ), thanks to its commitment to driving Electricity 4.0 ( electrification and digitisation ) and helping customers achieve their decarbonisation goals .
But as Olivier goes on to say , if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C , there must be more action from governments and regulators to balance societal needs with environmental impact , especially with the development of Artificial Intelligence and other technological advancements .
