Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders category of the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Carbon Accounting and Management Applications 2026 Vendor Assessment [1].

The assessment evaluated 17 global providers across capabilities and strategy.

The IDC MarketScape noted key strengths including:

• AI-native architecture: Powered by Schneider Electric’s AI agent, Sera, the platform (Resource Advisor+) automates data extraction, data normalization, emissions factor mapping, disclosure drafting, and CSRD-aligned compliance processes, while supporting supplier engagement and scenario analysis.
  
• In-house platform integration: Building the platform (Resource Advisor+) internally enables seamless dataflow and interoperability between products, allowing context, insights, and actions to be shared across the platform and within a client’s entire enterprise.
