Faurecia has selected Schneider Electric as a preferred partner to support the Group in its commitment to reach CO2 neutrality for scopes 1 and 2 by 2025. Schneider Electric, specialists in digital transformation of energy management and automation, will accompany Faurecia in this first stage of their CO2-neutral mission which involves decarbonizing its operations.
“Faurecia’s CO2-neutral objective is both an embodiment of our Convictions for making a positive contribution to society and the planet, and a strategic business decision to bolster resilience,” said Patrick Koller, CEO of Faurecia. “Through our CO2-neutral initiative, we aim not only to lessen our environmental impact but also to create long-term value across our supply chain for suppliers, partners, customers, and end users alike. Partnering with Schneider Electric will allow us to advance rapidly in this first stage of our initiative leveraging their global footprint and technology to deploy solutions across all our sites.”
A significant part of greenhouse gas emissions in Faurecia’s operations are direct emissions from controlled facilities and indirect emissions from energy procured (scopes 1 and 2 respectively). The first stage of the program will include both purchasing energy produced with low-carbon fuels or from renewable sources, and reducing energy used by adopting innovative digital solutions for efficiency and heat recovery in all of Faurecia’s 300 locations around the world.
