Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, announces its participation in the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil. The company arrives at the event mobilizing businesses, governments, and civil society around a practical agenda for energy and industrial transformation, aimed at boosting local economic resilience and promoting a just and inclusive transition.

Decarbonizing Brazilian industry

A new report from Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Research Institute and the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade, and Services (MDIC) highlights Brazil’s potential to lead global industrial transformation and achieve critical emissions reductions. The research explores the country’s strategic advantages, including its clean and diversified energy matrix, green hydrogen potential, abundant natural resources, and central role in ecosystem preservation, providing insights for public policies and institutional decision-making.

The study is structured in three phases. The first phase presents prospective scenarios through 2050 for demand-driven decarbonization based on international experiences and impact analyses on energy, emissions, and technologies. Subsequent phases will be released throughout COP30. These will provide recommendations on industrial policies, electrification and efficiency strategies as well as detailed scenarios for achieving carbon neutrality in Brazilian industry. The initiative reinforces the importance of combining innovation, competitiveness, and environmental responsibility, positioning Brazil as a model for low-carbon development.

Developing a future-ready workforce

A new analysis from Schneider Electric and consultancy Systemiq projects the creation of up to 760,000 new bioenergy jobs by 2030, positioning Brazil as a global leader in renewable fuels. 

The report, “Shaping Brazil’s Workforce for a De-fossilized Economy,” emphasizes the need to train and reskill 450,000 new professionals in automation, electrification, and carbon traceability, proposing a three-phase action plan that combines technical training, data integration between corporations and government, and structural educational reforms.

Schneider Electric presence on COP30 and SB COP agendas

In the Confederation of National Industry (CNI) space in the Blue Zone, the company will participate in panels and strategic conversations on clean energy, productive decarbonization, and future-ready talent development.

Schneider Electric will also take part in the Pavilion France at COP30, contributing to discussions on cross-border cooperation and inclusive energy transition.

Schneider Electric is consistently recognized as the world’s most sustainable corporation, including by Corporate Knights (2021 and 2025), TIME magazine and Statista (2024 and 2025), and Sustainability Magazine (2025).
