CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION:
OUR MISSION
Welcome from the CEO
At Schneider Electric, sustainability is part of everything we do — every decision, every innovation, and every
initiative. For us, sustainability extends far beyond a vague hope for a cleaner planet. We believe that access to
energy is a fundamental right, and therefore a truly relevant vision for sustainability must take into account human
rights, ethics, and health and equity concerns.
The challenge of our time
As we once again provide this report on our sustainability efforts, we’re reminded of the urgency of the climate
crisis and inspired by those who, together, are rising to meet the challenge head on. Two years ago, the Paris
Climate Agreement gave us all a clearer understanding of what’s at stake. Limiting global temperature rise
this century to less than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels is essential if we are to avoid widespread, disastrous
ecological problems.
The path to a healthier planet
We believe that concrete, meaningful action is the only successful path to address climate change and create
a heathier world. That is what this report is about. Each year, our Schneider Sustainability Report shows how
we’re taking steps to ensure our own sustainability; how we’re empowering our people; how we’re delivering
sustainable innovations to the world; and how we’re supporting the sustainable development of others through We believe climate change can

empowering our partners and customers to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future in buildings, industry,
data centers, and the grid. As I have said before, when it comes to the climate, I’m neither an optimist nor a
pessimist. I’m an activist. At Schneider, we’ll continue to actively participate in all useful initiatives to increase the JEAN-PASCAL TRICOIRE,
low-carbon approach to the world’s economy. CHAIRMAN & CEO,

INTRODUCTION: OUR MISSION
Sustainability at
Schneider Electric
With the challenges of climate change and the global megatrends made clear, the next steps also
become apparent: we must act; we must take responsibility; and we must begin with ourselves.
We are committed to providing innovative solutions that empower our own sustainability journey
and help the world to overcome the energy paradox. Together, we can balance our planet’s carbon
footprint with the irrefutable human right to quality energy.
In 2017, Schneider Electric was one of 120 companies placed on the Climate A List of CDP (formerly
Climate Disclosure Project) and is the only company in its industry to achieve an A rating for the
seventh year in a row. Looking forward, our climate-related goals include:

EcoStruxure provides Innovation At Every Level:
Level 3: Apps, Analytics & Services
EcoStruxure leverages the cloud for computing power, aggregation of
data and one data pool, machine learning models / new functionalities,
and digital services. Thanks to analytics and artificial intelligence, data
can take on meaning across a business (from shop floor to top floor),
and/or on premise
allowing a company to scrutinize energy use, for example, and to make
more targeted decisions about how to prioritize energy projects.
Level 2: Edge Control
Mission-critical environments need local control of devices at the edge
and reliable access to data from operational technology (OT) devices.
Advancements such as artificial intelligence enable analytics close to
the source of data, reducing latency while protecting safety, productivity,
and uptime.

Level 1: Connected Products
The “internet of things” starts with the best things. EcoStruxure is based on
smart, connected products with open integration to third-party products.
Embedding sensors in devices opens a vast window to what’s happening
both inside that product — from its energy efficiency to its performance
and within its environment, too. Through internet connectivity, IoT enables
all these connected “things” to talk to each other.

At Schneider Electric, we believe great people make us a great company.
That’s why when we talk about sustainability and energy management, we
aren’t just talking about preserving energy as a resource; we are equally
focused on sustaining the energy of our workforce.
We invest in the energy of our people in numerous ways, including a
company-wide focus on Health & Equity. A key measurement for progress
is the Schneider Sustainability Impact. In fact, one-third of our barometer
concerns health-related topics. We also prioritize diversity and inclusion
on a global scale, advancing initiatives including gender pay equity and a
