Meet your colleagues
Ive always believed that our brand,
Schneider Electric, is an underutilised asset of our company, said
Chairman & CEO Jean-Pascal
recently. I believe that unleashing
Life Is On is unleashing the value of
Schneider to the world and to our
customers. We need to learn how to
express our values, our contribution
to the people and the communities
surrounding us. We call on every
employee to contribute to the story of
Life Is On and there are tools
available today to support this!

News in brief
Room recipes, macarons, fabric
samples and Clipsal switches were
all front and centre at the Clipsal
showroom on Thursday, September
24, when the Room Recipe Project
was launched.
The event, featuring leading stylist
Megan Morton, was a chance to
boost awareness and to educate
interior designers on the extensive
range of Clipsal switches and
outlets. Two sessions were held
during the day, each with around 20
participants. Each session was
broken up broadly into two parts,
with the first part comprising of a
presentation from Megan and the
second part a hands-on activity with
each of the participants invited to

produce their own Room Recipe or
flat-lay, featuring a Clipsal switch and
other beautiful objects.
A room recipe, or flat-lay, is a
combination of items that are
brought together around a similar
theme, which can then be used by
an interior designer to create the look
and feel the client is after. The
exercise allowed participants to think
about electrical accessories as a key
part of this mix, rather than a
component that is best hidden.
The idea behind a flat-lay is that the
viewer almost forgets exactly what it
is that they are looking at; they just
see the beauty that is created,

Megan said.
Participants who attended were then
asked to share their Room Recipe on
social media, using the hash tag
#clipsalroomrecipe. The highest post
at #clipsalroomrecipe to date has
303 likes, followed closely by 2nd
place with 282 likes.
thestylistloves posted: Today was
the launch of the #clipsalroomrecipe.
Choosing light switches has never
been so much fun. The range is fun
and colourful, classic and timeless
and technologically advanced!

APC award win

APC by Schneider Electric was
recently recognised for pioneering
energy efficiency across IT
solutions, winning the annual ARN
ICT Sustainability Award.
Schneider Electric beat five other
vendors to receive the award, which
recognised its forward thinking IT
policy that is based on three pillars:
Solving the energy dilemma
An exemplary approach to
servicing stakeholders
Providing access to energy to those
who need it most.
APC by Schneider Electric has been
a global leader in the IT sector,
providing hardware, software and
services that ensure availability and

reliability across the residential,
business network, data centre and
manufacturing environments for over
34 years. Its fantastic to see this hard
work and dedication recognised with
such a prestigious award, said
Muralee Kanagaratnam, Schneider
Electric General Manager, Channel &
Alliances, Pacific Zone.
Initiatives such as the Trade-UPS
program, third party recycling
programs, StruxureWare for data
centres and the educational Energy
University training program also
contributed to the award win.
We have a number of programs that
drive efficiency for businesses, but we
have also implemented extensive
News in brief
efficiency programs to reduce carbon
emissions in our own facilities,
said Muralee.
Our main office in Sydney continues
to have a low carbon footprint and
has been awarded a 5 star Green
Star Office Design v2, while our
Gepps Cross Manufacturing Plant
recently achieved the ISO 50001
Energy Management certification.
The certification includes a
commitment to reduce energy usage
at the Gepps Cross site by 10 per
cent over the next three years.
Sustainability and smart energy
management are part of Schneider
Electrics DNA. We aim to champion

sustainability and energy efficiency
amongst our peers and we have a
number of innovative, eco-friendly
initiatives on the horizon that will
continue to drive this passion and
commitment, said Gareth OReilly,
Schneider Electric Zone President,
Australia & New Zealand.
APC by Schneider Electric was
also awarded Highly Commended
in the Specialist Vendor of the
Year category.

APC award win

In 2010, countries around the world
were abuzz about the potential of
smart grid technology and what
this meant for the future in creating
sustainable cities and Australia
was no exception. However, today
we have yet to see the full benefit
of a truly connected grid within
our communities.
The reasons behind this reality were
discussed by Schneider Electrics
Kevin Coulter at the French Australian
Chamber of Commerce (FACCI)
Business Forum, held at the MLC
Centre in Martin Place, Sydney on
Wednesday, September 16.
Kevin, Operations Manager for the
Energy Business, presented a high
News in brief
level discussion of the topic,

which was complemented by
presentations on Smart
Infrastructure by Cofely Australia,
Ijinus and Suez Environnement.
His presentation was well received
by the audience, and Kevin also
fielded questions during the Q&A
session, as did other members of the
panel and the panel convenor, Stuart
White, from UTS Institute for
Sustainable Futures.
In addition to the event itself,
Schneider Electric was featured in a
lift out magazine published in the
Australian Financial Review, which
revealed the major talking points of
the days Business Forum and delved

Partner Program
changes to benefit
EcoXperts
Change in Partner Program leads to
more opportunities for EcoXperts
Clipsal and Schneider Electric have
expanded their global EcoXpert
program. The changes will deliver
more value for customers and give
end users greater assurance when it
comes to selecting the right expert
for their needs.
Launched in Australia in 2012, the
EcoXpert program is Schneider
Electrics marque of excellence,
identifying industry-leading
specialists who are at the top of their
field and are most capable of
delivering building owners and
managers efficient, innovative and
integrated solutions for new and
existing sites. This community of
excellence is recognised and
certified by Schneider Electric, global
specialists in energy management
and automation.
The expansion of the program brings
some of Clipsal and Schneider
Electrics other partners, including

C-Bus Platinum, PointOne and
Approved Installer Partners, Push
Certified Installers, Energy Solutions
Partners and Network Connectivity
Certified and Endorsed Partners,
into the EcoXpert sphere, giving
them access to a greater level of
training, networking opportunities
and recognition within their
customer base.
By bringing all of our trusted
partners together under the EcoXpert
banner, we can concentrate our
efforts on building this group and
providing them with outstanding
opportunities, Ashley Ralph, General
Manager Partner Programs said.
In expanding this community we are
encouraging members to reach out
to other experts for advice and
support they might need to complete
a project. This also exposes each
member to additional opportunities,
allowing them to widen their expertise
and branch out into other fields.
