JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – SCHNEIDER Electric Humana People to People have formalised their intent to collaborate on sustainable energy access initiatives.
The two organisations are a global leader in energy management as well as automation as well as a network of 29 national NGOs (non-governmental organizations) working for the sustainable development of vulnerable communities across 46 countries, mostly African.
Schneider Electric and Humana People to People’s collaboration will prioritise projects that integrate sustainable energy solutions into broader socio-economic development programmes.
“We are committed to making a tangible difference, ensuring that everyone has access to reliable, clean energy solutions that drive social and economic development,” said Albert Fuchet, Global Vice President of Access to Energy.
Schneider Electric is at the forefront of the global energy transition, leveraging its expertise in electrification, automation and digitisation.
Through its Access to Energy programme, launched in 2009, Schneider Electric aims to narrow the energy gap by providing energy, affordable technology, and expertise to underprivileged areas.
Humana has implemented over 1 500 development projects globally focused on Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Community Development, Health and Education, reaching over 17,9 million people.
“By combining our network’s on-the-ground impact with Schneider Electric’s technological expertise, we are bringing transformative energy solutions to where it’s needed most-powering schools, health centres, and helping people build better lives across rural areas,” said Jesper Wohlert, Director of European Partnerships at Humana People to People.
