SCHNEIDER Electric, the global specialist in energy management, highlighted a 12 percent growth in new economies, as well as significant investment and expansion strategies that include the recruitment of up to 30 percent more workforce in 2012. The company has also put in place plans to tackle the growing energy challenge confronting Saudi Arabia. Indicating strong positive growth, Saudi Arabia notched the highest sales in the Africa and Middle East region, accounting for 60 percent of GCC sales and 30 percent of Middle East sales. Christophe Campagne, Country President, Schneider Electric, Saudi Arabia, said: "2011 has been a highly eventful year for Schneider Electric in Saudi Arabia. We have completed numerous projects and won significant high-profile assignments in addition to launching creative initiatives and expanding our footprint in the country." "Moving forward, we aim to replicate our high standards of energy management across all regions through our vast network of offices, manufacturing plants and sales offices. Our operations in Saudi Arabia demonstrate a clear example of Schneider Electric's best practices." Through implementing a calendar of initiatives and launching key solutions for the market, Schneider Electric will target the root causes of CO2 emissions and urge the adoption of sustainable practices for inefficient buildings - the most significant cause of carbon emissions.
