What happened

Why it matters
The advisory services highlight that many organizations have sustainability objectives that are not always backed by executable programs. This challenge is particularly acute for utilities, mining, manufacturing, and data centers operating in informal, remote, or fragile communities.
ChildFund International and Schneider Electric partnered to develop renewable energy projects targeting underserved communities in Africa.
