New Delhi (India) December 14, 2009: Top executives from Schneider Electric will attend Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference, encouraging public debate from a perspective of unique competencies and innovative architectural solutions with the potential to dramatically improve current energy management options within buildings, homes, industries, data-centers and infrastructure.

“It is obvious that the UN Climate Change Conference is a unique opportunity to mobilize all concerned players in climate change,” said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, President & CEO of Schneider Electric. “What is less obvious is HOW? Our primary focus and drive is to emphasize that we can start today, and if countries or businesses are already engaged, they can do more… by embracing ambitious targets, adopting pragmatic technology right now, and modeling changes in each of our personal behaviors. We are proud to be involved with the Copenhagen event as our role in these issues is expanding daily.”

To support the war on climate change, Schneider Electric strategy is extremely simple. The energy challenge embraces very diverse fields; it is key to start and focus on low hanging fruits to act today. Within this frame, we believe it is mandatory to start working at the point of use: this is the place where changes can be implemented the fastest leveraging technology to adapt behaviors. Schneider Electric’s solutions can deliver energy savings of up to 30%, while contributing to the fight against climate change. Because energy is lost as it travels from plant to plug, three kWh have to be generated for each kWh a building uses. Consequently, every kWh saved in a point of use means three kWh less at the power plant.

For Schneider Electric, energy efficiency represents an opportunity to focus its team on an exciting challenge and to grow and differentiate its business. The Group provides its customers with a comprehensive set of sustainable technologies and solutions applied in four stages to achieve energy efficiency. First, measure energy use to identify reservoirs of savings and dysfunctions. Second, use energy efficient systems and components. Third, automate, by deploying human centric control systems. Fourth, monitor, to maintain performance by continuously analyzing gains from maintenance, supervision and control. Finally, improve, by using automation management, consulting, training and tracking resources to raise the bar on performance.

Beyond energy efficiency, today’s challenge is to develop and establish the connecting solutions that create an intelligent energy management system across all application areas. Schneider Electric makes the energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green with its EcoStruxure™ solution architecture, an approach which unites its unique expertise in power, datacenters, process and machines, building control, and physical security.

At Schneider Electric, we are delivering now solutions all across the globe to contribute to the greening of the planet. As an example, Schneider Electric reduces significantly CO2 emissions for the Bella Center, site of the 2009 UN Climate Change Conference. This example is one of many within our reference list, whether in North America, Europe, India or China.

Companies demonstrate their concern regarding the environmental crisis by taking action in the new era opening, based on innovation, mobilization of each player and transfer of intelligence. Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management, is one of the first companies to actively attack these tremendous challenges.
