Schneider Electric energises PWHL’s goal of being a sustainable league
North America’s Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) has partnered with Schneider Electric, a specialist in the digital transformation of energy management and automation.
Schneider has taken on the role of official partner for energy management, and will assess the PWHL’s operations before providing a clear roadmap for decarbonisation.
The league began its inaugural season in January, and the collaboration aligns with its goals of becoming a sustainable property.
“We are pleased to partner with Schneider Electric for our inaugural season,” says Amy Scheer, PWHL Senior Vice President of Business Operations. “Together, we are not only shaping the landscape of women’s hockey but striving to improve our eco-friendliness to create a better and more sustainable world for generations to come.”
Gabe Smith, Schneider Electric’s Vice-President of the Global Sustainability Business, added: “It was a very proud moment for Schneider Electric as the league’s official North American partner for energy management. In partnering together to develop a sustainability roadmap, we’re on a path to improving the hockey industry’s carbon footprint and inspiring other sports leagues to follow suit.”
The PWHL consists of six teams across North America – three in Canada (Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal) and three in the US (New York, Minnesota, and Boston).
