Schneider Electric and sustainability go a long way back. It has and will continue to beat the core of everything we do. In 2005, we were the first to monitor our impact onpeople, 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. And in 2021, Corporate Knights ranked
Schneider Electric the World’s Most Sustainable Company in their Global 100 ranking.

nsioatWe are immensely proud to be a recognized leader for sustainable development.
But recent years, if anything, have been a reminder that none of this is enough.
With only 10 years 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 toenergy and equal opportunities.
The new 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 tomaking 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.
