<strong>sustainability<\/strong> In 2026, this will become increasingly concrete: CSRD, CBAM, and customer and supply chain demands call for demonstrably lower CO\u2082 per product, while daily practice also calls for lower energy costs, electrification, and \u2014 where possible \u2014 expansion within an increasingly congested electricity infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this keynote, Schneider Electric shows that <strong>energy efficiency the common key<\/strong> is to connect these challenges. Every kWh saved reduces the CO\u2082 footprint, lowers the energy bill, and creates capacity on the existing connection \u2014 a welcome bonus in times of grid congestion. We translate this into concrete choices on the shop floor:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More efficient machines and drives<\/strong>: more output per kWh \u2014 higher productivity and lower Scope 1\/2 emissions;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy management at the process level<\/strong>: insight into consumption and peaks as a basis for savings and flexibility;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peak shaving, storage and microgrids<\/strong>: smarter management of the connection, enabling the electrification of heat and processes, and contributing to grid stability;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interaction between machine builder and SME manufacturing company<\/strong>: energy-efficient machines as a shared revenue model and as a building block for a lower product carbon footprint throughout the entire chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A practical morning session for operations, energy, and sustainability managers who want to translate sustainability and energy efficiency into competitive advantage \u2014 and thereby create room to continue growing in a grid under pressure.<\/p>\n<p><em>Schneider Electric, Wednesday 23 September, 10:30 Smart Industry Plaza<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"branches":[],"events":[8],"secretariat":[],"categories":[58],"themes_tax":[],"class_list":["post-86238","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Schneider - Duurzaamheid die rendeert: hoe machinebouwers en MKB samen de energietransitie versnellen - FHI, federatie van technologiebranches<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Schneider - Duurzaamheid die rendeert: hoe machinebouwers en MKB samen de energietransitie versnellen - FHI, federatie van technologiebranches\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"FHI, federatie van technologiebranches\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-07-21T13:26:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\\\/\",\"name\":\"Schneider - Duurzaamheid die rendeert: hoe machinebouwers en MKB samen de energietransitie versnellen - FHI, federatie van technologiebranches\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-07-21T13:25:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-07-21T13:26:05+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/schneider-duurzaamheid-die-rendeert-hoe-machinebouwers-en-mkb-samen-de-energietransitie-versnellen\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fhi.nl\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Schneider &#8211;
