Schneider launches consulting business to tackle challenges
28 October 2025 
Schneider Electric has launched a consulting business, called SE Advisory Services, that will help organisations and individuals to solve complex challenges in efficiency, sustainability, and technology through automation, digitalisation and electrification.
The formation of the new business was announced at Schneider’s annual Innovation Summit, held recently in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Schneider says the business represents a strategic evolution of its consulting capabilities, expanding beyond traditional advisory roles, to include software and project implementation. This end-to-end approach will help organisations to future-proof their operations through agile, intelligent and integrated services that accelerate energy and technology transitions.
“Energy, technology and software are now inseparable drivers of industrial progress,” explains Gwenaelle Avice Huet, Schneider’s executive vice-president for industrial automation. “Our consulting approach helps customers to identify the critical levers for transformation, unlocking the full potential of electrification, accelerating automation, embedding digitalisation, and strengthening cybersecurity. With software at the core, we enable resilient, future-ready operations that adapt to market shifts and deliver long-term value.”
SE Advisory Services will support both enterprise-wide initiatives and site-level operations in four key areas:
- Sustainable business and industrial transformation Guiding transition planning through digital transformation, process electrification, decarbonisation, renewable energy, low-carbon infrastructure, circularity and carbon offsetting, to transform both industrial operations and energy processes.
- Risk management and resilience Protecting organisations from energy volatility, cybersecurity threats, climate risk, and system disruptions to reduce downtime, harden connected systems, and build operational resilience.
- Resource and asset performance Evaluating resources and systems strategically to improve reliability, reduce waste, and unlock resources to invest in growth.
- Intelligent software Providing specialised software products embedded with native AI capabilities and built on deep advisory expertise to connect fragmented workflows and turn insights into action.
“Times of uncertainty require one thing above all – clarity and knowledge of what you can control,” says Frédéric Godemel, Schneider’s executive vice-president for energy management. “We have taken our world-class consulting capabilities from across Schneider Electric and combined them to enable our clients to move with greater speed and confidence, and unlock capabilities to solve pressing energy, sustainability, and technology challenges.
“Consulting services are not new at Schneider Electric and have proven invaluable to clients in the past,” he adds. “Today, we’re evolving that offering to give clients clarity and a clear path toward net-zero.”
