In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, IT solution providers are increasingly recognizing the importance of being pacesetters in IT sustainability rather than mere observers. 

Report says sustainability leaders benefit most

If solution providers find competitors of them or their customers slowing down their sustainability plans, that’s an opportunity to make strong financial gains by becoming a “pacesetter” instead of an “observer.” 

That’s the finding of a new report by consulting house EY, and dovetails with a message long-provided by Schneider Electric when it comes to efficiency and sustainable technology. 

“(M)arket demand for climate action remains (strong) with over half of sustainability leaders surveyed saying that investors (58 percent) and customers (51 percent) are accelerators, motivating businesses to deliver on their sustainability programs, EY reports.

“Furthermore, those that remain committed to sustainability targets are seeing benefits from their actions with eight in 10 ‘pacesetters’ capturing higher than expected financial value, compared to just 45 percent of ‘observers,’” the firm found. 

Several product areas offered by Schneider Electric—notably EcoCare—provide key pathways to keep solution providers’ customers reaching their goals while attaining financial benefits.

EcoCare by Schneider Electric is a membership-based service plan designed to optimize equipment and systems maintenance strategies, aiding businesses in moving towards a more dynamic, electrified and decarbonized world. It offers innovative digital capabilities for proactive expertise, minimizing downtime, maximizing operational efficiency, safety and achieving sustainability goals.

The service includes around-the-clock proactive monitoring and alarming, asset management to foster equipment uptime and expert priority onsite and remote support. EcoCare provides a personalized digital experience through the mySchneider portal, offering visibility of assets under management and specialized training as part of an effective maintenance plan.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, IT solution providers are increasingly recognizing the importance of being pacesetters in IT sustainability rather than mere observers. This shift is not just about embracing green practices, but a strategic move that intertwines sustainability with profitability. The recent collaboration between Schneider Electric and Compass showcases a successful model in this regard.

For IT solution providers looking to remain or become sustainability pacesetters, Schneider Electric's EcoCare serves as an exemplary solution.
