Sustainability

Schneider Electric and sustainability go a long way back. It has and will continue to be at the core of everything we do. 

In 2005, we were the first to monitor our impact on people, planet and profit with an industry-leading Sustainability barometer. Fast forward 15 years, we’ve saved our customers 120 million tons in CO2 emissions and given about 30 million more people access to energy. 

But, in recent years, if anything, have been a reminder that none of this is enough. With only a few years left to achieve the Paris Agreement and limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, we need to accelerate our sustainability efforts while giving more people access to energy and equal opportunities. 

The Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021-2025 program aims to do exactly that. Dedicated to a better future for all, SSI contributes to each and every one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With 6 long-term commitments, we go even further for our environment, society and economy. Backed up by 11 global targets and accompanying local targets, they pave the way for a significant dual impact. Enabling us to drive action, not just through ourselves and our partners, but also for our customers and our local communities.

By keeping sustainability at the forefront of our business, we look forward to making this impact a reality—a reality where we continue to live up to our purpose: to empower all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all.
