Schneider Electric Buildings play a critical role in the race to meet science-based climate targets Climate change is one of the biggest challenges to human and planetary well-being. Meanwhile, maintaining our current pace in tackling climate change means that we will fail to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

As we are learning, in climate change as in pandemics, the costs of a global crisis are bound to vastly exceed those of its prevention. We are using the newly developed Embodied Carbon for Construction Calculator (EC3) to support low-carbon procurement on structural steel, piles, rebar and concrete.
