Signify, Pineapple Partnerships and Schneider Electric launch Pineapple CoRE

Signify, Pineapple Partnerships and Schneider Electric have announced Pineapple CoRE, a strategic collaboration designed to accelerate decarbonisation across the commercial and industrial property sector. Initially focusing on the UK, the collaboration is scalable for global deployment.

The initiative unites market leading consultancy by Schneider Electric that helps organisations map their critical infrastructure and unlock the opportunities available to them around efficiency, sustainability and modernisation, Signify’s connected lighting solutions, and Pineapple Partnerships’ systems-change consultancy, offering a turnkey pathway for property owners and operators to overcome common barriers to decarbonisation—such as access to finance, fragmented supply chains and skills shortages.

Edwards Vacuum, part of the Atlas Copco Group, is the first organisation to benefit from the CoRE model. At its Clevedon manufacturing site, a suite of energy interventions is being implemented, including:

• Deployment of a digital twin by Schneider Electric for real-time energy performance modelling

• A new solar PV installation

• LED lighting upgrades and IoT-based controls by Signify

• Innovative financing to accelerate capital investment by Pineapple Partnerships

These measures target a 35% reduction in energy consumption and over 80% reduction in emissions at the site. The initiative supports Edwards Vacuum’s broader sustainability goals, including 46% cuts in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and 28% in Scope 3 by 2030. The current site served as a successful pilot, with CoRE now rolling out to other locations in the UK and the rest of the world.
