CUSTOMER-CENTERED INNOVATION
We work closely with customers to drive innovation at S&C. Our grid resilience solutions empower customers to transform the grid, keeping the power on around the world.
Product Innovation and Sustainability OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
REDUCING SF₆ EMISSIONS ACROSS OUR PRODUCT PORTFOLIO Our portfolio includes alternatives to SF 6 gas-insulated switchgear, including Vista® Green and Vista® SD Underground Distribution Switchgear and Scada-Mate® SD Switching System. All S&C products that use SF 6 gas are sealed for life, reducing the need for refilling and reducing both maintenance requirements and the risk of emissions. We also support our customers’ efforts to recycle equipment and reclaim SF 6 gas. This includes decommissioning end-of-life product units and reclaiming SF₆ gas from this equipment to be recycled. To help customers through this process, we provide full documentation and compliance reporting and flexible service options.
Our engineering expertise and focus on understanding our customers’ challenges, combined with close collaboration, influence how we design products, invest in new technology, plan manufacturing capacity, and provide customer support. Product Life Cycle Strategy Product safety and performance are our primary objectives when designing our products. These Sustainable Product Life Cycle Considerations shape our product development and production processes: • Engineering for improving safety • Minimizing energy and resource usage • Reducing the use of potentially hazardous substances and GHG emissions • Minimizing waste • Enhancing recyclability and environmental circularity These considerations drive sustainability and continuous improvement in product development and challenge us to choose product and packaging materials that minimize our environmental impact.
S&C’s product take-back program recovered 90 Scada-Mate units in 2025, reclaiming and recycling nearly 400 pounds of SF₆.
