Schneider Electric Maintains Sustainability Momentum with SSI Score

Schneider Electric raised its SSI score to 8.06 in the second quarter of 2025, once again demonstrating steady progress toward its sustainability targets. The results, announced six months before the program's completion, highlight concrete achievements in environmental and social impact areas.

Schneider Electric announced the 2025 second quarter results of its SSI program. These results carry great significance as the company enters the final phase of its 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program. Six months before program completion, Schneider Electric continues to demonstrate its commitment to measurable, inclusive, and transformative progress in line with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets. The company's SSI score reached 8.06 out of 10 this quarter, reflecting steady momentum in core sustainability areas.

A quarter marked by global recognition and local impact
This quarter, Schneider Electric was named World's Most Sustainable Company by TIME and Statista for the second consecutive time. This achievement, coming after the company was recognized by Corporate Knights as Europe's Most Sustainable Institution, reinforced its leadership in sustainability.

Beyond awards, the second quarter of 2025 yielded concrete results. Schneider Electric exceeded its goal of training 1 million people in energy management, a cornerstone of its commitment to inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment.

This milestone coincided with the 2025 World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) and is supported by the Youth Education and Entrepreneurship Program, which operates in more than 60 countries. The program equips underserved communities with technical and entrepreneurial skills to participate in energy transition.

Steady progress in core sustainability areas
Schneider Electric also reported progress across several key sustainability indicators:
• Since 2018, 734 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions have been saved and avoided for customers, surpassing the 700 million tonne milestone.
• Operational CO₂ emissions from Schneider Electric's top 1,000 suppliers have been reduced by 48%, with just two percentage points remaining to reach year-end targets. This reflects the growing impact of the Zero Carbon Project, which combines local solutions, field support, renewable energy targets, and goal-oriented training.
• The Decent Work Program reached 79% coverage in the second quarter of 2025, showing a 39-point increase from the previous year. This reflects improvements in working conditions and compliance, particularly in the Middle East and East Asia & Japan regions.

Esther Finidori, President of Sustainability at Schneider Electric, made the following statement on the matter: "As an impact company and the World's Most Sustainable Company, we believe education is one of the most powerful drivers of long-term transformation. Training more than 1 million people in energy management is a proud moment and a reminder of what's possible when purpose meets action. With six months remaining in our 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact program, our priority is clear: accelerate with determination and create lasting impact."

Some of the current initiatives demonstrating the program's global reach and impact include:
• In Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, digital twin technology is being used to train communities in solar energy repair and e-waste recycling.
• The Conserve My Planet program engages students in India, Kenya, Vietnam, and Thailand with hands-on sustainability projects.
• In Brazil, mobile training units deliver renewable energy education to young people in correctional facilities, supporting their reintegration into society and reducing recidivism rates.
• A common thread runs through these initiatives: systemic change becomes possible when education, technology, and purpose converge.
