The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney received global recognition for its efforts in decarbonisation, winning a prestigious award at the annual Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact Awards held during Schneider’s Innovation Summit 2024 in Paris.
UNSW clinched the ‘Impact to My Enterprise’ award, acknowledging its leadership in sustainability by reducing its own carbon footprint, making it the sole Australian recipient of this esteemed accolade.
Collaborating with partners, UNSW has implemented an ambitious Environmental Sustainability Plan aimed at minimizing its environmental impact and establishing itself as a beacon of sustainability across its campuses.
Introduced in 2022, these awards celebrate Schneider’s business ecosystem’s role in fostering a more sustainable world through cutting-edge technology solutions and collaborative efforts to enhance efficiency.
Joining UNSW as winners in the Pacific region were AirTrunk, also recognized with the ‘Impact to My Enterprise’ award, while Pacific Energy and Quasar Systems were jointly honored in the ‘Impact to My Customers’ category.
“We are thrilled to be celebrating the outstanding sustainability achievements of our customers and partners in the Pacific region and applaud their sustainability endeavours. Not only did we see four exemplary wins locally, it was a remarkable achievement for the University of New South Wales to also secure global recognition,” said Colette Munro, Schneider Electric’s Pacific Zone president
“As we make progress on our path to net zero, I encourage other Australian businesses to look to UNSW, AirTrunk, Pacific Energy, and Quasar, which have set new benchmarks when it comes to deploying the latest and greatest sustainable technology solutions,” Munro says.
