Schneider Electric announced major enhancements to EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, a versatile enterprise software suite of solutions designed to empower global companies across efficiency, ESG, energy and risk, and renewables and carbon. This strategic evolution from a platform of stand-alone solutions to an integrated and multifaceted suite addresses the rapidly maturing market and the increasing complexity of corporate sustainability needs. Much of this has been driven in the market by escalating stakeholder demands and stringent reporting requirements, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) starting in 2025.

The enhanced Resource Advisor suite offers specialized solutions that cater to these diverse needs, providing users with flexibility and depth to navigate their unique sustainability paths. Clients can leverage these capabilities individually or collectively, depending on their specific enterprise sustainability goals.

Resource Advisor Renewables & Carbon Introduces Intelligent Tracking and Allocation Functionality
Resource Advisor has long been helping corporations manage the spend and risk of traditional energy commodities such as electric power and natural gas. The energy transition is demanding companies prioritize renewable energy and environmental commodities like carbon offsets and energy attribute certificates. The need to manage these renewable energy and carbon purchases will only grow in importance as organizations commit to initiatives like RE100, SBTi, and CDP and must allocate purchases to different sites and different time periods.
Resource Advisor users are now able to improve their renewable energy experience, prioritize auditability and information sharing, and rely on an automated calculation of renewable energy coverage across their entire footprint. Additionally, users can quickly identify lagging assets or sites that have exceeded their goal and have a surplus of certificates available to either reallocate elsewhere or sell to generate revenue.
