Schneider Electric has published its 2025 extra-financial results, marking the conclusion of its five-year Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021–2025 program and outlining the next phase of its sustainability strategy.
In a media release, the company said the program achieved an overall score of 8.86 out of 10 by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting progress across climate, social and governance metrics throughout its operations and value chain.
“Schneider Sustainability Impact 2021–2025 has been a transformative journey,” said Olivier Blum, chief executive officer 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.”
According to the company, by the end of 2025 it had enabled customers to save and avoid 862 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, exceeding its original target of 800 million tonnes.
Through its Zero Carbon Project, which engages its top 1,000 suppliers, Schneider Electric reported contributing to a 56 per cent reduction in suppliers’ operational CO2 emissions.
The company also said 98 per cent of its strategic suppliers met its Decent Work requirements as of 2025, aimed at reinforcing human rights protections, ethical labour practices and employee wellbeing across its supply chain.
Schneider Electric stated that its Access to Energy initiative, launched in 2009, had reached more than 61 million people with access to clean, reliable and affordable energy by the end of 2025, surpassing its original goal of 50 million beneficiaries.
Over the same period, it reported training more than one million people in energy management to support skills development and long-term inclusion.
The company added that more than 500 local sustainability initiatives have been implemented since 2021 in countries where it operates, contributing to community-level impact.
“Closing SSI 2021–2025 is a milestone, not a finish line,” said Esther Finidori, chief sustainability officer at Schneider Electric.
“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. 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.”
Schneider Electric also noted that its sustainability performance has been recognised in several environmental, social and governance assessments, including receiving an EcoVadis Platinum medal, placement on CDP’s Climate Change A List, and ranking first in the Social Benchmark and third in the Gender Benchmark in the latest World Benchmarking Alliance assessment.
