Corporations are increasingly turning their attention to address science-based targets and clean energy goals across their footprint. To help accelerate the pace, Schneider Electric is expanding the reach of the [NEO Network](http://www.neonetworkexchange.com/), a growing community of forward-thinking corporations committed to buying and developing renewable energy and cleantech around the world. The virtual community provides commercial and industrial (C&I) companies exclusive access to market intelligence, project and pricing information, and developers and technology providers, streamlining the often-complicated buying process.

In Europe, 60 corporations have joined the U.K.-based RE100 and committed to source 100 percent of electricity from renewable resources. A further 150 European companies have agreed to set science-based targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction, many of which will rely on renewable energy and other clean technologies to meet their goals.
