UL Solutions Issues Schneider Electric First ECOLOGO® Certification for an Industrial Product

The new ECOLOGO Certification for energy and industrial automation equipment provides a credible, science-backed pathway for companies to meet growing market and regulatory demands.

NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, today announced that Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, has achieved the first ECOLOGO Certification for an industrial product, with the certification of Schneider's portfolio of PowerPacT™ Molded Case Circuit Breakers.

ECOLOGO Certifications from UL Solutions, which have long been used in sectors such as cleaning products, electronics and personal care, indicate a product has undergone rigorous scientific testing and exhaustive auditing to show its compliance with stringent sustainability standards. The new ECOLOGO Certification for industrial products is designed to help manufacturers prove their dedication to sustainability through third-party evaluation.

“Manufacturers are increasingly expected to demonstrate their sustainability commitments. Schneider Electric’s decision to pursue this achievement highlights how certification by UL Solutions can support companies in meeting market and regulatory expectations while strengthening customer trust,” said Jeff Smidt, senior vice president of Testing, Inspection and Certification, Industrial, at UL Solutions, during an ECOLOGO presentation ceremony at Schneider Electric’s Innovation Summit North America in Las Vegas.

The ECOLOGO Certification program is a voluntary, multi-attribute third-party evaluation, in accordance with UL 2711, the Standard for Sustainability of Energy and Industrial Automation Equipment, that verifies environmental and human-health performance across a product’s entire lifecycle, including material sourcing, manufacturing practices, and health and safety. It also evaluates product attributes, including performance, durability, climate impacts, packaging and corporate sustainability reporting. ECOLOGO Certification verifies sustainability claims, providing citable proof important to procurement teams, regulators, investors and customers.

“The industrial sector faces increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or reliability,” said Bin Lu, executive vice president, Power Products, Schneider Electric. “By becoming the first to apply ECOLOGO Certification from UL Solutions, we’re setting a new standard for transparency and accountability in manufacturing, helping our customers confidently navigate complex sustainability demands while advancing the entire industry toward a greener future.”
