Schneider Electric today announced an enhanced global supply chain decarbonisation service designed to help organisations address the significant emissions volume contained in their value chains.

Schneider Electric has seen off competition from the world’s best-known green businesses to be named the most sustainable corporation on the planet.

New managing director, Yohei Konaka, has now officially taken on his role following a delay in his official appointment due to COVID-19.

Globally, modern slavery impacts nearly  46 million people. While for many this invokes images of crowded fashion industry sweatshops, the real picture is far more pervasive – touching every industry, and almost every supply chain. And in Australia, conservative estimates suggest 15,000 people are living and working in slave-like conditions.
