Ducab Group Expands ESG and Decarbonisation Strategy with Schneider Electric

Ducab Group, a leading UAE-based manufacturing firm, is advancing its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and decarbonisation efforts by partnering with Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Business as a strategic advisor.

This collaboration aligns with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the UAE Net Zero Strategy 2050, further strengthening Ducab’s role in sustainable industrial practices.

Schneider Electric will work with Ducab to develop a robust ESG and Climate Strategy, targeting carbon emissions reductions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, following the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Ducab has already implemented sustainability measures, such as two solar PV plants powering half of its Jebel Ali factory and the Industry 4.0-driven Blade Smart Factory Project, which optimises operations.

Charles-Edouard Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, emphasised the importance of meeting global sustainability demands, stating,

“Our collaboration with Schneider Electric provides a powerful solution. We remain committed to supporting the global energy transition.”

Amel Chadli, President of Gulf Countries, Schneider Electric, added,

“Together, we are setting a new standard for industrial decarbonisation in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. Sustainability is a solid commitment to future generations.”

As part of the partnership, Schneider Electric will conduct an ESG Double Materiality Assessment for Ducab and facilitate compliance with global reporting standards. Ducab will also implement Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, a cloud-based tool to track and monitor sustainability progress using AI-driven data.

This partnership marks a key milestone in Ducab’s journey to becoming a sustainability leader in the energy industry.
