Schneider Electric has received significant recognition for its distribution center located in Évreux, France. It has been named a Sustainability Lighthouse by the Global Lighthouse Network of the World Economic Forum, an award that highlights the company’s commitment to sustainability, resource efficiency, and innovation.

The Évreux center has become the company’s first circular distribution center, implementing a model that promotes prolonged use and efficient reuse of products. Over the course of two years, it has achieved an 18% reduction in energy consumption and a 40% decrease in the use of single-use plastics.

With this designation, Schneider Electric now has a total of six Sustainability Lighthouse recognitions, making it the company with the most designations within the Global Lighthouse Network. This fact reinforces its leadership in industrial transformation towards more sustainable practices.

Among the innovations adopted at the center is a digital platform that provides access to over 3,000 products, as well as a data model that connects items with repair, refurbishment, and re-packaging centers. Additionally, circular solutions have been implemented in areas such as packaging, transportation, and energy management, utilizing advanced tools like EcoStruxure™ Resource Advisor and EcoStruxure Building Operation.

Mourad Tamoud, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Schneider Electric, indicated that this recognition reflects the efforts of their teams to integrate sustainability into all operations. He highlighted that the Évreux center has transformed the concept of a distribution center, turning it into a key point for circularity, which aligns with the company’s mission to advance towards a more sustainable and efficient future in the industry.

The Global Lighthouse Network, co-founded by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, recognizes those industrial sites that demonstrate leadership in digital transformation and operational excellence. In its new update for 2025, the network includes 12 new sites across seven countries, with the Évreux center noted for its achievements in sustainability.

Kiva Allgood, Managing Director of the World Economic Forum, emphasized that the organizations of the future will be those driving a comprehensive transformation today, combining digital innovation and sustainability. This new recognition solidifies Schneider Electric’s role in sustainable manufacturing, underscoring its Impact Supply Chain Program, which aims to create a positive impact on customers and the environment through investment in people, sustainability, reliability, and advanced technologies.
