Green design is an effective way to achieve sustainable development. Schneider Electric aims to create green and low-carbon products with a full life cycle by systematically considering the energy-saving, low-carbon, resource recycling and environmental friendliness of products through green design, on the basis of ensuring product environmental compliance and environmental information transparency.

In this cooperation, the IUE’s professional team will connect with Schneider Electric's existing green innovation achievements and industry application scenarios to promote the integration of scientific research and enterprise production practices, and will support the transformation and implementation of green design innovation achievements.
