Schneider Electric, the global leader in sustainability services, announced it has been selected by VF Corporation to provide a comprehensive sustainability solution across all of its brands. Schneider Electric's technology platform, Resource Advisor, will allow VF to track and report energy, water, and emissions data, as well as additional sustainability-related metrics, across its global footprint of operations and products.
Through Resource Advisor, VF will be able to identify, encourage, and amplify projects globally to reduce costs, reduce resource impacts, improve employee engagement, and additional sustainability related activities across VF's impressive suite of brands including The North Face, Timberland, Eastpak, Vans, Nautica, Wrangler, and more.

This will provide VF with immediate access to analytics across their global product inventory for reporting and product rating purposes.
