Schneider Electric | Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future

Our mission is to help businesses meet their energy challenge -keep global warming below the 2°C limit- while achieving better operational efficiency. We put ethics and responsibility at the center of our interactions with our customers, partners and suppliers, employees, and the communities where we operate. We want to be a corporate citizen and a responsible employer. In new economies, we develop solutions to provide reliable energy to the 1.1 billion people that do not have access to energy. In mature economies, we address the hundreds of millions of people living in fuel poverty.

With Innovation at Every Level, we are redefining power and automation for a new world of energy. Learn how!

Over the past few years, our company has adapted and improved the way to talk about Inclusion. Especially about LGBT+ communities.

No Time to Waste: How Digitalization Can Solve the Carbon Crisis
Schneider Electric itself is committed to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 and being powered by 80% renewable electricity by 2020. The company has also helped many other RE100 signees to reach the same goal. After taking steps for efficiency, the next step, if more energy is needed, is to adopt renewables by the different ways of buying it. That combination of efficiency and fostering renewable energy has also helped Schneider to get closer to its goal of avoiding 120 million tons of CO2 on behalf of their customers by 2020.
