Global digital automation and energy management company Schneider Electric and Nordic steel company SSAB are recipients of the world's first International Carbon Handprint Awards. The winners were announced on September 21 in New York during the Climate Week NYC conference by awards founders Climate Leadership Coalition and the Vancouver Economic Commission. "Carbon handprint" is a key climate impact indicator that demonstrates how a product or service reduces consumers' carbon footprint either by avoiding greenhouse gas emissions or by increasing carbon sinks. The International Carbon Handprint Award, which was introduced in 2022, features two categories: Most Climate Positive Carbon Handprint Product and The High Potential Carbon Handprint Innovation. The competition is open to any company in the world that manufactures products or sells services that help customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
