Rexel Partners with the ChangeNOW 2025 Summit
Rexel, a leading distributor of electrical products, solutions and services, is a proud Supporting Partner of this year’s ChangeNOW summit, taking place in Paris on April 24-26. This “world expo of solutions for the planet” is due to welcome global leaders and changemakers from more than 10,000 companies, as well as investors, media and the general public. Participating Rexel executives will be sharing our expertise to help shape a more sustainable world.
Championing sustainability in a fast-evolving market
Operating at the heart of the electrical supplies value chain, Rexel is positioned as a champion of sustainability, working with suppliers and customers to accelerate the energy transition. As demand grows for cleaner, more energy efficient solutions, the company is pursuing its purpose of “electrifying solutions that make a sustainable future possible.”
Concretely, Rexel has long been a climate change pioneer, notably being the first in its industry to set SBTi-approved targets, with a comprehensive roadmap for reducing Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions and achieving net zero by 2050. The company has earned a CDP “A” rating and an EcoVadis Gold medal for its environmental performance.
Accelerating the energy transition with sustainability expertise and proprietary AI tools
Rexel offers proprietary algorithms driven by AI to help customers understand their emissions and guide them toward the most sustainable solutions. These include, for example, an Environmental Footprint Generator that calculates an EcoScore rating for every product sold from a scale of A-E, a Carbon Tracker Dashboard to help corporate customers understand the impact of their products purchased. In addition, an Eco Boost feature allows customers to view the most sustainable products per category in Rexel’s webshops. Rexel has also launched Sustainable Selection, a range of more than 100,000 products considered top performers in terms of carbon emissions and circularity, and manufactured by companies committed to the company’s Sustainable Supplier Charter.
Rexel CEO Guillaume Texier will talk about the company’s approach in a ChangeNOW session on Friday April 25 entitled “Unwavering Ambition: The Private Sector in a Shifting Geopolitical Landscape.” This session will take place from 9.30 a.m. to 10.45 a.m. on the Collective Stage.
