Committed to a better planet

Energy is our priority

Energy is the biggest challenge for our generation and those yet to come. At Schneider Electric, together we can make a difference each and every day.

Our world is at a turning point:

Demand for energy is set to explode, particularly in the booming new economies.
Yet even today, electricity is not readily available to 1.6 billion people.
The continued exploitation of fossil fuels remains a threat to the planet.

As the global specialist in energy management, we believe our company can make a difference:

By helping to reduce energy consumption in the Northern Hemisphere to curb carbon emissions through our energy efficiency solutions.
By enabling the poorest regions of the world to gain access to safe, reliable electricity through supply of equipment, training and funds. For example, more than 2,300 young people are currently in training in 22 countries.

Strong involvement by employees

At Schneider Electric, every day, you’ll help meet the demands of these new challenges, either at work or as a volunteer:

At work, in every position and activity, everyone’s job is somehow related to energy efficiency. It is the cornerstone of our strategy.
Many of our employees are involved as volunteers in our Foundation.

For instance they participate in electricity-related training projects, dedicated to underprivileged young people or their teachers.

“In my mind, working at Schneider Electric is also growing personally by bringing something to other people.”

Wim, Engineer aboard Princess Elisabeth, Antarctica

“This station is the first-ever zero-emission scientific station. I was sent to Antarctica to support the team in charge of the electrical installation. Most of it is made of prototypes.”
