Schneider Electric: Harnessing Sustainable Manufacturing
Sustainability in manufacturing extends beyond basic compliance metrics, offering a robust advantage to companies that embrace its potential.
Purpose-driven manufacturers have been shown to increase market value more rapidly, as evidenced by insights from the World Economic Forum.
This acceleration in value is tied to strategic, sustainable practices that anticipate risks, foster trust among stakeholders and open pathways for growth opportunities.
Scheduled for Sustainability LIVE London 2025, Schneider Electric's workshop, titled "Future-Proofing Manufacturing: The Nexus of Sustainability, Competitive Advantage and Resiliency," is designed to arm executives with the necessary knowledge to leverage sustainability for enhanced business outcomes.

What advantages can sustainability bring?
A joint report by the World Economic Forum and Schneider Electric, "Sustainability Meets Growth: A Roadmap for SMEs and Mid-Sized Manufacturers," indicates that fast-tracking sustainability initiatives could unlock significant economic growth.
According to the report, 38% of participants identified sustainability as a growth opportunity, while 60% acknowledged customer demand as the main catalyst for adopting sustainable practices.
Nevertheless, more than half of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) identified competing priorities such as cost control and business expansion as hurdles in their sustainability journey.
Additionally, challenges such as policy uncertainty and financial limitations were noted.
“The future of manufacturing hinges on empowering SMEs and mid-sized companies to spearhead the shift toward a sustainable and inclusive global economy,” said Esther Finidori, Chief Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric, upon the report’s publication.
“For manufacturing firms, sustainability is equally an environmental and economic mandate. Tomorrow's industry leaders will be those who innovate by embedding sustainability as a cornerstone of competitive advantage, creating resilient and high-performance value chains."
Where sustainability meets business advantage
The Schneider Electric workshop presents an excellent opportunity for industry leaders to converge in an engaging, roundtable environment to exchange critical insights and lessons from their sustainability initiatives.
Executives from adaptive manufacturing companies will present tangible insights into transforming sustainability pledges into more robust operations, exploring new market territories and delivering measurable returns on investment.
