BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Realistic 50% efficiency and CO2 reductions possible with current energy and

digital transformations

- Latest EcoStruxure™ innovations enable new levels of safety, reliability,

efficiency, sustainability, openness and connectivity

- New partnerships accelerate delivery of energy and automation digital

solutions for buildings, data centers, infrastructure and industry customers

Schneider Electric calculated that 50% of global CO2 emissions could be

eliminated by 2040 if digitally enabled energy saving measures were implemented

in just half of existing buildings, in tandem with existing global

electrification and decarbonization initiatives. At the company's Innovation

Summit, taking place today and tomorrow, Schneider Electric, the leader in

digital transformation of energy management and automation, called on the more

than 3,500+ customers, partners, suppliers and influencers to work together to

make this a reality for the improved efficiency of their businesses and a more

sustainable planet and development for all.  Buildings, data centers,

infrastructure and industry are responsible for around 70% of the world's

energy use.

"We are experiencing a tectonic shift today towards electrification and

digitization, enabling a new paradigm in sustainability," said Jean-Pascal

Tricoire, Chairman and CEO, Schneider Electric. "For the first time in our

history, we can all participate in a step change in efficiency and the rare

opportunity to reconcile the paradox between progress for all and a sustainable

future for our planet. We stand ready to work with our customers and partners

to unlock new opportunities for efficiency and sustainability."
