Schneider Electric completes its Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021–2025 program, setting the stage for the next chapter
Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today published its 2025 extra-financial results, marking the conclusion of its Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021–2025 program. Over the past five years, the Group has reported measurable progress across climate, social, and governance dimensions, supporting customers, partners, and communities in their transition toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.
As of the end of Q4 2025, Schneider Sustainability Impact program (SSI) achieved an overall score of 8.86/10, reflecting the scale of the sustainable transformation carried out across the Group and its value chain over the past five years. This chapter demonstrates how Schneider Electric has translated long-term ambition into measurable, global and local results, transforming its business and engaging its ecosystem.
“Schneider Sustainability Impact 2021–2025 has been a transformative journey,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “For more than 20 years, sustainability has been rooted in our identity and driven our journey forward. By combining innovation, partnerships, and accountability, we have delivered progress against key sustainability metrics across our operations and our ecosystem. These results reinforce our belief that sustainability is a powerful driver of both performance and positive impact.”
The Group has been playing a critical role in helping customers reduce their environmental footprint through its products and solutions. By the end of 2025, the Group enabled customers to save and avoid 862 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions, surpassing its original ambition of 800 MtCO₂.
Moreover, through the Zero Carbon Project, Schneider Electric has successfully mobilized its supply chain to take concrete action toward decarbonization. By engaging its top 1,000 suppliers, the Group contributed to a 56% reduction in suppliers’ operational CO₂ emissions.
Schneider continues to push for fair and safe working conditions across its suppliers’ ecosystem. As of 2025, 98% of strategic suppliers conform to the Group’s Decent Work requirements, reinforcing respect for human rights, ethical labor practices, and employee well-being in its value chain.
Guided by its mission to power progress for all, Schneider Electric has continued to contribute to a fair and inclusive energy transition, enabling its stakeholders to participate in and benefit from sustainable progress. Through the Access to Energy initiative launched in 2009, the Group has expanded access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy for underserved communities, impacting more than 61 million people worldwide by the end of 2025, well beyond its original ambition of 50 million beneficiaries. At the same time, Schneider Electric has invested in youths’ upskilling and education to support long-term inclusion, training over one million people in energy management since 2009, and equipping individuals with the capabilities needed to build resilient communities and support the global energy transition.
Since 2021, more than 500 local sustainability initiatives have come to life in the countries where Schneider Electric operates, illustrating how the Company contributes to generating impact for local communities.
“Closing SSI 2021–2025 is a milestone, not a finish line. What remains is the collective capability we’ve built with our people, customers and suppliers, and the discipline to deliver concrete results and meaningful impact” said Esther Finidori, Chief Sustainability Officer of Schneider Electric. “As we move toward 2030, our compass is clear: we’ll leverage technology and innovation for progress, bring others along, learn and share what works to scale impact while continuously striving to do the right thing. At Schneider Electric, we’re convinced that advancing energy technology can help power progress for all.”
In addition to these achievements, Schneider Electric’s sustainability approach has also been recognized across several top ESG ratings, such as Ecovadis Platinum medal, the placement on CDP’s Climate Change A list, and the ranking 1st in the Social Benchmark and 3rd in the Gender Benchmark in the latest World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) assessment, among others.
