Schneider Electric advances in product environmental data transparency
Enabling customers to make better informed sustainability and business decisions
14 environmental data attributes now covering 70% of product turnover
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 April 2025 - Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has launched its Environmental Data Program. This initiative, which builds on the legacy Green Premium label, provides customers with unique access to information on the environmental impact of its products, enabling them to make better informed, data-based decisions and meet evolving regulatory requirements with confidence.
Schneider Electric has frequently been recognized as a leader in sustainability—including being named the world's most sustainable company by Time Magazine and Statista in 2024 and by Corporate Knights for the second time in January 2025. It is this commitment to environmental leadership and customers' growing demand for transparency that has led to the launch of this program.
By providing critical information, like carbon footprint, energy efficiency, packaging and recycled content, Schneider Electric helps customers make choices that align with their sustainability goals, enabling them to better track, understand, and reduce their own environmental impact.
Schneider Electric now shares information on 14 environmental data attributes up from the 5 previously disclosed by the company's legacy Green Premium Label, offering a more comprehensive understanding of a product's environmental impact. Those 14 attributes are available online for 110,000 commercial references. Schneider Electric aims to provide the same coverage for 155,000 commercial references by the end of the year, covering 80% of product turnover – up from 70% today.
With 2024 officially recorded as the hottest year on the planet, the urgency for accelerated progress on environment and climate action has never been more apparent. At the same time, studies show that the global economy is only 7.2% circular. Regulatory evolutions over the past years (such as the draft EU Green Claims Directive) have been raising the bar for transparency and accountability. The data provided by the Environmental Data Program will make it easy for customers to use these metrics for both business, as well as compliance and reporting purposes. Environmental data transparency is fundamental to both decarbonization and competitiveness, two goals that will define the times ahead. Ultimately, it's about powering choices thanks to better, clearer, and more reliable data.
Chris Leong, Schneider Electric's Chief Sustainability Officer, explains: 'With over 15 years of experience in environmental product data, we've built a legacy of trust and transparency. Now, with the Environmental Data Program, we're setting a new benchmark for environmental data accessibility and performance. We remain committed to helping our customers and partners across the industry to continue making informed, data-based, and responsible decisions with transparency at the core to use better, use longer, use again.'
Céline Coulibre-Duménil, Chief Sustainability Officer at Rexel, global leader in the distribution of electrical supplies, values the Environmental Data Program: 'Giving customers access to more transparent and factual product data to help them make informed decisions on the environmental impact of their choices is a must. We support Schneider Electric's ambition to influence the industry towards more environmental product transparency.'

Anmako Launches New Collection on 14 June 2025
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 June 2025 - Anmako, a contemporary clothing brand known for its refined blend of functionality, elegance, and textile craftsmanship, will launch its new women's collection, Anmako Glow, on 14 June 2025 at its flagship store in Takashimaya Shopping Centre, Level 3, 391 Orchard Road, Singapore 238892. Opened in May 2025, the Takashimaya store now serves as Anmako's primary retail outlet in Singapore, complementing its existing space at Design Orchard. The location strengthens the brand's local presence and provides greater access to its collections for both residents and international visitors. Strategic Retail Expansion to Enhance Market Visibility The decision to establish a permanent outlet at Takashimaya follows several years of recurring seasonal pop-ups at the same venue, which helped build a loyal customer base. Situated along Orchard Road with direct MRT access and a range of amenities, the location offers high visibility and supports both physical retail and online growth. This expansion is part of Anmako's broader strategy to deepen engagement with its growing customer base by securing a presence in Singapore's most prominent commercial districts. Improved Accessibility and Customer Experience With its central location, the Takashimaya store offers convenient underground access to Orchard MRT, ample parking, and close proximity to dining, personal care, and retail services. These features are expected to enhance the overall shopping experience, and support continued growth across all sales channels. 'The opening of our store at Takashimaya marks an important milestone in our growth in Singapore,' said Eiko Sumantri, Director of Anmako. 'We are looking forward to introducing Anmako Glow to both our loyal customers and new audiences at this location.' Launch of 'Anmako Glow' at the Flagship Store Anmako Glow, designed for young professionals and families, will make its in-store debut on 14 June 2025. The collection extends the brand's commitment to clean silhouettes, functional tailoring, and wearable comfort suited for everyday life. While batik techniques feature in select textiles, Anmako's designs are developed entirely in-house and reflect the brand's own creative direction. Rather than drawing from external cultural styles, the brand incorporates batik fabric through its own design lens, resulting in garments that are distinct from conventional batik prints. This approach preserves traditional craftsmanship while offering a style unique to Anmako within the context of batik clothing in Singapore. Anmako Glow Launch Event A launch event will be held on 14 June 2025 at the Takashimaya store to mark the debut of Anmako Glow. Event updates will be communicated through the brand's social media platforms, WhatsApp messages, and email newsletters.
