The bus entered the factory of Tianjin Jinrong Tianyu Precision Machinery Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Jinrong Tianyu”), and rows of rooftop photovoltaics were working in the sunny day. On August 3, the Beijing News shell finance reporter visited Schneider (Beijing) Medium Voltage & Low Voltage Electric Co., Ltd. and Jinrong Tianyu, the core partner of Schneider Electric supplier “Zero Carbon Plan”.

Carbon neutrality is a systematic project that requires close collaboration across the ecological chain. In 2021, Schneider Electric launched the Supplier Zero Carbon Program, which aims to help the world’s top 1,000 major suppliers reduce the carbon emissions generated by their operations by 50% by 2025, including 230 core suppliers in China.

As of July this year, Schneider Electric has helped its global suppliers reduce carbon emissions by an average of 20%. It is worth mentioning that the carbon reduction results of Chinese suppliers are particularly significant, with an average carbon reduction of 21%, slightly higher than the global level.

Zhao Hong, co-director and president of Jinrong Tianyu, told the Beijing News Shell financial reporter that in the rapid development of electric vehicles today, in order to reduce the overall weight and fuel consumption of vehicles, the demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry is increasing.

For example, the stamping industry can seek to use more environmentally friendly lightweight materials, such as high-strength steel, aluminum alloy and composite materials, to replace traditional heavy metals, and the use of advanced digital simulation technology in mold research and development design can optimize product design, reduce material waste, and improve the cost competitiveness of products. “All these bring more business opportunities for Jinrong.”
