Industry transformation is accelerating, and there is an urgent need for the empowerment of first movers
As a green and environmentally friendly means of transportation, urban rail transit has been entrusted with important tasks in the construction of low-carbon transportation system. In August 2022, the Action Plan for Green Urban Rail Development of China Urban Rail Transit (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan) was officially released by the China Urban Rail Transit Association, which together with the Smart Urban Rail Development Outline being implemented guided the construction of an intelligent and green development path for urban rail transit with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
However, under the background of accelerating the low-carbon transformation of the industry, the urban rail industry still faces many challenges such as planning guidance to be strengthened, green development standard systems to be improved, and supporting technologies to be breakthroughs, and it urgently needs to be empowered by pioneers. Adhering to the responsibility of green enterprises, Schneider Electric, as a pioneer of sustainable development, actively responded to the Action Plan and officially released the "Schneider Electric Green Urban Rail Development Action Plan" at the event site, aiming to further exert its influence through the two major technologies of "digitalization" and "electrification" and provide practical assistance for the green and low-carbon development of the urban rail industry.
At the ceremony, Wang Biao, Deputy Secretary-General of China Urban Rail Transit Association, expressed warm congratulations and full affirmation of the release of Schneider Electric's plan, saying: "The release of this action plan fully reflects Schneider Electric's responsibility and responsibility as a pioneer of sustainable development. In the future, it is hoped that Schneider Electric will continue to play a leading role in demonstration, share advanced experience and achievements, strengthen the docking with the association's green urban rail action, and help the construction of a transportation power. ”

Delivering on our commitment to building an end-to-end green value chain
At the event, Director Xing Zhiming and Deputy Director Lou Yongmei of China Urban Rail Transit Association interpreted the Action Plan for Green Urban Rail Development of China Urban Rail Transit in detail and answered the questions raised on site. The Action Plan puts forward for the first time the quantitative index requirement of "the proportion of major enterprises in the supply chain that has obtained the star rating of green factories", emphasizes the development requirements of "green design, green manufacturing, green products, green supply chain, green remanufacturing and green factories", encourages "incorporating green commitments and green labels into the needs of bidding users, and giving priority to the procurement of green and low-carbon products", providing policy guidance to ensure that the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and the completion of green urban rail are achieved on schedule.
As a sustainable practitioner, Schneider Electric has integrated sustainable development into all aspects of its business, creating an "end-to-end green value chain" covering green design, green procurement, green production, green delivery, and green operation and maintenance. In the "Schneider Electric Green Urban Rail Development Action Plan" released this time, Schneider Electric clearly proposed to respond to the green development needs of the urban rail industry from its own green development commitment and green value chain construction, and promote the further integration of energy and industry with practical actions and green and intelligent solutions.

Schneider Electric proposes to achieve carbon neutrality at the operational level by 2025; By 2030, achieve "zero carbon readiness" at the operational level; Achieve carbon neutrality in the end-to-end value chain by 2040; Achieve net-zero carbon emissions across the end-to-end value chain by 2050.
The realization of these commitments relies on Schneider Electric's innovative concept of always emphasizing full life cycle carbon reduction. For example, in the product design and planning stage, green genes are injected into its entire life cycle. In order to help the industry achieve the goal of carbon dioxide emissions in the supply chain, Schneider Electric took the lead in using the Green Premium product eco-label, allowing customers to openly and transparently see the environmental impact information of each stage of the product life cycle, and intuitively understand its green performance. In addition, Schneider Electric's 29 factories and logistics centers in China, 15 of which have been recognized as green factories by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, have already met the target requirements set in the Action Plan for 2025 ahead of schedule.
