London, United Kingdom: Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, Pineapple Partnerships, the systems change focused consultancy, and Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced Pineapple CoRE, a strategic collaboration designed to accelerate decarbonization across the UK's commercial and industrial property sector.
The initiative unites market leading consultancy by Schneider Electric that helps organisations map their critical infrastructure and unlock the opportunities available to them around efficiency, sustainability and modernisation, Signify’s connected lighting solutions, and Pineapple Partnerships’ systems-change consultancy, offering a turnkey pathway for property owners and operators to overcome common barriers to decarbonisation - such as access to finance, fragmented supply chains and skills shortages.
Edwards Vacuum, part of the Atlas Copco Group, is the first organisation to benefit from the CoRE model. At its Clevedon manufacturing site, a suite of energy interventions is being implemented, including:
These measures target a 35% reduction in energy consumption and over 80% reduction in emissions at the site. The initiative supports Edwards’ Vacuum broader sustainability goals, including 46% cuts in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and 28% in Scope 3 by 2030. The current site served as a successful pilot, with CoRE now rolling out to other locations in the UK and the rest of the world.
