Schneider Electric has launched a new digital platform, Zeigo Hub, aimed at accelerating the decarbonisation of supply chains and helping companies meet their climate goals, particularly scope 3 emissions reduction targets. The platform is designed to engage suppliers of all sizes, enabling businesses to track emissions across multiple tiers and foster measurable reductions through education, tools, and expert support.
Zeigo Hub offers a guided onboarding process and a user-friendly interface, complemented by embedded educational tools that assist suppliers in calculating and managing their emissions. Unlike traditional static data capture tools, the platform promotes two-way collaboration through tailored learning pathways, decarbonisation toolkits, and benchmarking dashboards. This collaborative approach helps suppliers receive personalised emission-cutting roadmaps, which facilitate tangible carbon reductions at scale. Importantly, the participation costs for suppliers are fully covered by the sponsoring organisations, removing common financial barriers and enabling broad-scale involvement.
An advanced analytics engine powers Zeigo Hub, granting organisations real-time visibility into supplier engagement, emissions trends, and progress toward science-based climate targets. The platform supports global sustainability reporting frameworks including the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This alignment with recognised standards enhances transparency and supports companies’ internal sustainability reporting and disclosures, a vital feature given the increasing regulatory scrutiny on corporate climate accountability.
One of the distinctive aspects of Zeigo Hub is its integration of advanced agentic artificial intelligence capabilities. As the first product within Schneider Electric’s AI-native ecosystem, the platform uses AI to personalise the user onboarding experience by streamlining data entry, automating web scraping and uploading tools, customizing participation invitations, and providing additional oversight on behalf of corporate program sponsors. These AI-driven functionalities aim to accelerate decarbonisation efforts while enhancing data-driven decision-making across complex supply networks.
Laura Eve, Vice President of SaaS Sustainability Solutions at Schneider Electric, underscored the strategic importance of supply chain decarbonisation in the current business environment, stating, “A decarbonised supply chain is no longer a ‘nice to have’ — it’s a strategic imperative.” The platform is positioned as part of Schneider Electric’s broader sustainability portfolio, which already includes tools like the Building Decarbonization Calculator for building owners and operators, and the EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, a cloud-based energy and sustainability data management system recently upgraded to support compliance with climate-risk disclosure regulations in the United States and California.
Schneider Electric has significant experience in supply chain decarbonisation, having launched over 20 global programs since 2021 and collaborated with more than 40 brands, involving over 2,700 suppliers. The company’s previous initiatives, such as the Zero Carbon Project and industry consortium programs named Energize, Catalyze, and Materialize, provide a robust foundation for the new platform. Zeigo Hub is expected to serve as the technological backbone for these programmes, enabling collective action and fostering continuous improvement, shared accountability, and increased resilience within supply chains.
The launch of Zeigo Hub comes at a time when regulatory frameworks on climate risk and emissions reporting are tightening. For instance, while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stepped back from defending its climate-risk disclosure rule, California’s Air Resources Board intends to uphold firm 2026 reporting deadlines under state climate laws, reflecting a broader trend of increasing expectations for transparent and comprehensive climate reporting worldwide.
Overall, Schneider Electric’s Zeigo Hub represents a significant innovation in supply chain sustainability technology. By combining AI-driven solutions with deep industry expertise and an inclusive, cost-free supplier engagement model, it aims to transform ambitious decarbonisation commitments into actionable, measurable results. This development underscores the growing recognition across industries that sustainable supply chains are central to achieving corporate net-zero ambitions and building long-term business value in a changing climate landscape.
