Rachel Warman
Environmental Programs ManagerSchneider Electric SE
I have 13 years of experience in the environmental field. Currently, I work as the Environmental Programs Manager for Schneider Electric. I get to manage and drive improvement in our company’s key metrics and initiatives such as Zero Waste, Water Risk and Circular Economy. I also serve on a leadership team to drive conformance to several ISO standards. My scope of assistance is mainly Schneider Electric’s North American Global Supply Chain, which covers over 50 facilities. Outside of Schneider Electric, I am the president of the air advisory pollution control board for Lincoln, NE.
Previously, I worked in one of Schneider Electric’s manufacturing sites as the Safety and Environmental Engineer. This is where I learned the facts of life of the environmental world – improving waste management through recycling and reduction, managing environmental reports, ensuring environmental conformance, working directly with local and federal regulators, training, energy management and encouraging others to participate in environmental improvement efforts.
My civil engineering degree has brought a systematic and organized edge to my environmental business strategies. My passion is to sustain our beautiful Earth. I enjoy hiking, swimming, gardening – all things where I can feel connected to nature. My mission is to ensure that I have contributed to the sustainability of our Earth each and every day.
