Schneider Electric was named to Fast Company’s "2026 Most Innovative Companies" in the Business Services category, leveraging its AI-based operations applied to supply chain carbon emission management.

This selection is significant in that it recognized AI not merely as an auxiliary function, but as a case that connected it to supply chain data collection and reduction implementation.

Fast Company's 2026 list was released in March. Schneider Electric launched its supply chain decarbonization platform 'Zygo Hub' in 2025, and integrated it into the supply chain products of 'Resource Advisor+' in January 2026.

The key is that the input of supplier emission data, calculation, and program operation are handled within a single system.

Actual operational performance was also reflected in the selection criteria.

Schneider Electric announced that it has implemented a greenhouse gas reduction program for its top 1,000 suppliers, reducing operational emissions by 53% as of the third quarter of 2025 and expanding the reduction to 56% by the end of the year.

The Zaigo Hub-based program operates with a structure that supports over 2,700 vendors.

Supply chain management performance is also linked to other indicators.

Schneider Electric ranked first in Gartner’s Top 25 Supply Chains for the third consecutive year in 2025, and its annual revenue for the same year reached 40.2 billion euros, surpassing 40 billion euros for the first time. The contribution of carbon reduction and avoidance by its customers was also estimated at 862 million tons by the end of 2025.

This selection is interpreted as an example demonstrating that supply chain operations, decarbonization programs, and AI-based data management are not separate businesses but are being connected as a single operational system. Schneider Electric is expanding its related systems to accelerate emissions management and execution speed across the entire supply chain.
