Schneider Electric

, leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has secured the top spot on the "World's Most Sustainable Companies for 2024" list by Time Magazine and Statista. This recognition reflects Schneider Electric's ambitious goals to reduce its own emissions, as well as the company's commitment to helping customers become more energy-efficient and reduce their emissions. Time and Statista used a transparent multi-phase methodology to identify the most sustainable companies in the world for 2024. The process began with a selection of over 5,000 of the world's largest and most influential companies. After a rigorous four-phase assessment, the final ranking excluded non-sustainable industries and considered factors such as external sustainability ratings and goals, corporate reporting practices, and environmental and social performance indicators. This comprehensive approach resulted in a ranking of 500 companies from over 30 countries.

553 million tons of CO2 saved

Both Time and Statista highlighted Schneider Electric's technological expertise and the Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program. This transformative program drives and measures the company's progress towards global sustainability goals 2021-2025 and contributes to six long-term goals that encompass all dimensions of environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Among this progress, the company helped customers reduce their CO2 emissions, with 553 million tons of CO2 saved since 2018. The company has also made significant progress in transforming its own supply chain. The CO2 emissions of the top 1,000 suppliers of Schneider Electric decreased by 27% since the start of the program — and 21% of the company's most strategic supply chain partners met Schneider Electric's standards for decent work.

"We are incredibly honored to be recognized as the world's most sustainable company," said Peter Herweck, CEO of Schneider Electric. "This achievement is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability, which is embedded in everything we do. We consider the environment, society, and good governance in our decisions and daily operations. That is why we are committed to making even more progress on our sustainability goals and ensuring that everyone contributes to creating a positive and lasting impact."

Schneider Electric was also recently included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the 13th consecutive year. There, the company was ranked #1 in its sector and secured a spot in the Europe index. This achievement reflects strong performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG), with sustainability at the core of its strategy.
