The rankings were announced on the opening day of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, where environmental sustainability is a dominating issue. **Recognition on environmental and ethical indicators** Schneider Electric was ranked among the “Global 100” most sustainable companies by [Corporate Knights ](https://www.corporateknights.com/)for the seventh year running, coming 29th overall and first in its category. More than 7,500 companies were evaluated to produce a list of 100, based on 21 key performance indicators covering resource management, employee management, financial management, clean revenue and supplier performance. Schneider Electric was also ranked on the [CDP “A-List”](https://www.cdp.net/en/scores) - among just 179 other companies – for the ninth consecutive year. The CDP’s disclosure and scoring process is seen as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency, and the go-to source of sustainability information for customers and investors. Schneider Electric was recognized for actions to cut emissions, mitigating climate risks and contributing to the development of a low-carbon economy. **Schneider Electric exceeds its own sustainability targets** Both rankings recognized Schneider Electric’s engagement to sustainability, as measured through the [Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI)](https://sdreport.se.com/en/introduction-our-impact). The SSI, which is published quarterly and is a valuable source of information for investors, rates the company’s progress towards ambitious sustainability commitments through 21 key performance indicators around Climate, Circular Economy, Health & Equity, Ethics and Development. Renewed and updated for 2018 through 2020, the company had increased targets on nine of these indicators at the end of 2019. “The climate emergency and the related management of economic risks are our generation’s biggest challenge. We must rethink the way we live with energy, the way we design buildings, industries and cities, and leverage technology to embark on a different path to a net zero carbon world. These issues are key and should be high in the agenda of this year’s World Economic Forum,” commented Schneider Electric CEO and Chairman Pascal Tricoire. “At Schneider Electric, our commitment to carbon neutrality is weaved into our business decisions and governance. However, we all need to do more and faster. The recognition of our efforts by both the CDP and Corporate Knights is a very positive step and gives us a boost.” [Read the full press release here](https://www.se.com/ww/en/Images/21-release-award-corporate-knight-cdp-a-list_tcm564-115408.pdf) [![Schneider Electric Logo](/sites/default/files/Clients/Screen_Shot_2020-02-13_at_4.11.24_PM.png)](/profiles/schneider-electric) ### More from Schneider Electric ###### [Schneider Electric Exceeds Its 2024 Sustainability Target and Approaches the End of Its Current Program](/news/schneider-electric-exceeds-its-2024-sustainability-target-and-approaches-end-its-current) Feb 20, 2025 2:00 PM ET ###### [Schneider Electric’s New Researches Forecast AI’s Impact on Energy Consumption](/news/schneider-electrics-new-researches-forecast-ais-impact-energy-consumption) Dec 5, 2024 2:15 PM ET ###### [Schneider Electric and Alstom Target Environmental Impact of Mobility Industry](/news/schneider-electric-and-alstom-target-environmental-impact-mobility-industry) Dec 3, 2024 10:30 AM ET ###### [Schneider Electric Foundation Wraps Up the Year With the Giving Season and Envisions the Next 25 Years To Come](/news/schneider-electric-foundation-wraps-year-giving-season-and-envisions-next-25-years-come) Nov 29, 2024 4:00 AM ET ###### [Schneider Electric Advances Environmental Impact Transparency in MEP by Sharing Product Data Through One Click LCA](/news/schneider-electric-advances-environmental-impact-transparency-mep-sharing-product-data-through) Nov 28, 2024 10:55 AM ET ###### [Tackling Energy Poverty: The Necessary Rise of Minigrids](/news/tackling-energy-poverty-necessary-rise-minigrids) Nov 26, 2024 11:00 AM ET ###### [Schneider's Sustainability Program Heads Full Speed Toward Its End-Year Targets With Strong Local Impact](/news/schneiders-sustainability-program-heads-full-speed-toward-its-end-year-targets-strong-local) Oct 30, 2024 2:00 PM ET ###### [How Corporate Power Can Preserve Biodiversity](/news/how-corporate-power-can-preserve-biodiversity) Oct 23, 2024 2:15 PM ET
