A vision of a more: Electric, Digital, Decarbonised and Decentralised world.
Our commitments: Schneider Electric commits, in the short and long term, to contribute to making the planet more sustainable for all its stakeholders.
Limit global warming below +2°C in line with the Paris Agreement
From the business partnership to a culture of dialogue with all our stakeholders:
In this 21st century, humanity is facing the most daunting challenge in its history: the need to radically transform its economic growth model in less than 30 years or face catastrophic changes to its ecosystem. While global GHG emissions continue to grow(1), the devastating effects of these changes are already being felt: an increase in the frequency and magnitude of extreme climate events, melting glaciers, disappearing coral reefs, and so on; added to this is the alarming loss of biodiversity.
Resolutely determined to contribute to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Schneider Electric provides innovative solutions to overcome the energy paradox: balancing the need to reduce the planet’s carbon footprint with the inalienable human right to quality energy.
Schneider Electric has made strong climate commitments for its entire ecosystem, ranging from helping its suppliers to reducing the emissions of its customers, as well as an ambitious action plan on its own operational scope. The Group’s ecosystem also comprises the 1.1 billion people – 1 out of 6 people on this planet – who do not have access to electricity. Access to energy is a basic human right. The Group develops inclusive business models and creates solutions to supply clean, safe and reliable energy to such people. The Group also contributes to the fight against fuel poverty in mature economies.
Schneider Electric seeks to make this necessary low-carbon energy transition a fair transition. That is why it has placed social and societal challenges at the very top of its agenda, for the personal fulfilment of its employees and for compliance with its values by its partners.
