Schneider Electric has concluded its Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021–2025 program. Over the last five years it has supported customers, partners and communities in their transition toward a more sustainable and inclusive future. By the end of Q4 2025, the SSI program achieved an overall score of 8.86/10, reflecting the scale of the sustainable transformation carried out across the company and its value chain.
During this period Schneider Electric enabled customers to save and avoid 862 million tonnes of CO₂, surpassing its original ambition of 800 million tonnes. Moreover, through the Zero Carbon Project, it has successfully mobilised its supply chain to take concrete action toward decarbonisation. By engaging its top 1,000 suppliers, the company contributed to a 56 per cent reduction in their operational CO₂ emissions.
Schneider Electric has also significantly contributed to the energy transition. Through the Access to Energy initiative launched in 2009, the company has expanded access to clean, reliable and affordable energy for underserved communities, impacting more than 61 million people worldwide by the end of 2025, which is well beyond its original ambition of 50 million beneficiaries.
At the same time, Schneider Electric has invested in youth upskilling and education by training over one million people in energy management since 2009, and equipping individuals with the capabilities needed to build resilient communities. Since 2021, more than 500 local sustainability initiatives have come to life in the countries where Schneider Electric operates.
Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric, commented:
“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.”
