Schneider Electric Korea (Korea Branch CEO Kim Kyung-rok), a global leader in digital innovation in energy management and automation, is expanding its sustainability software ecosystem to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) structure, contributing to the setting of precise and achievable decarbonization goals for small, medium, and large enterprises.

Schneider announced on the 2nd that it is launching a new sustainability software ecosystem, Zeigo™.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly working to reduce other indirect emissions (Scope 3) across their value chains due to global regulations. However, SMEs have faced numerous barriers to achieving decarbonization, including a lack of awareness of the importance of decarbonization and limited access to resources.

Schneider Electric acquired climate technology platform startup Zygo in February last year to strengthen its digital capabilities in the sustainability consulting sector. Zygo uses software to effectively address climate challenges faced by large and small businesses with clear climate goals, saving resources and increasing profits.

Companies of all sizes use Zygo tools to reduce their energy consumption and emissions, gain access to energy market information and education, and connect with local solution providers in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon offsets to take action.

Zeigo is building a climate change software ecosystem comprised of software-as-a-service applications Zeigo Activate, Zeigo Power for digitally bidding on renewable energy purchase contracts, and Zeigo Network for managing corporate networks.

Zeigo Activate is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application that catalyzes climate change ambition into action. It provides businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve their carbon reduction goals, enabling them to measure their carbon emissions, set new reduction targets, and accelerate their decarbonization efforts.

Zeigo Power is a software that enables users across Europe to digitally bid for renewable energy purchase agreements (PPAs), making clean energy procurement easier and more accessible.

Zeigo Network is a software platform that provides access to educational resources, community connections, and a powerful marketplace of solution providers for the energy transition. More than 600 global companies with the same goal are participating in the decarbonization journey.

“Zygo has built an ecosystem that empowers everyone to decarbonize,” said Steve Wilhite, Vice President of Sustainability at Schneider Electric. “In particular, Zygo Activate offers small and medium-sized businesses easy and actionable solutions to improve their decarbonization journey and has the potential to create significant value for companies of all sizes addressing their supply chain emissions. We look forward to seeing how this ecosystem will accelerate the global Net Zero journey for all our customers.”

Meanwhile, Schneider Electric's existing digital solutions, Zeigo and NEO Network, have been renamed Zeigo Power and Zeigo Network, respectively, to help organizations of all sizes meet their carbon reduction needs.
