Schneider and Henkel team on decarbonisation
SUSTAINABILITY goods locally instead of internationally – will be a major factor in reducing mass transportation .
He says : “ A purely local footprint is not feasible , because one disruption can bring down the whole chain . So organisations need to empower at the regional level and maintain tight coordination of local sites .
Roseman concedes that such a move will impact costs but says these are offset by reduced costs through decreased inventory , greater working capital from shorter supply chains , and also higher levels of sustainability .
So this is energy conservation on a global scale . But what about the small wins , which , when added together , are just as significant ?

Schneider and Henkel team on decarbonisation
Customer-supplier partners Henkel and Schneider Electric have come together to cut CO2 emissions in the supply chain .
In 2021 , Schneider launched its Zero Carbon Project , in which it is partnering with its top 1,000 suppliers to halve their collective emissions by 2025 .
As a key member of Schneider ’ s supplier community , Henkel is also part of this drive and has made great strides on cutting emissions .
As of 2021 , Henkel ’ s CO2 emissions per tonne of product were down by 50 %; Schneider therefore invited the company to share its best practices with other Zero Carbon Project participants at a recent training event . Henkel outlined detailed actions that can be implemented as part of its four pillar approach :
• Understand sustainability focus areas and their objectives .
• Determine the baseline from which progress is assessed .
• Set targets within scopes of control .
• Implement activities .
“ We are fully committed to the Schneider Electric programme ,” said Ulla Hüppe , director of sustainability for Henkel ´ s Adhesive Technologies business unit . “ Together , we can advance our positive environmental impact .”
