Schneider Electric surpasses sustainability goals in Q1

GLOBAL industrial tech company Schneider Electric announced that its Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program achieved a score of 7.95 out of 10 for the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 toward a target of 8.80/10 by the end of the year.

SSI is the company’s framework for measuring sustainability progress, aligned with its business strategy. Performance is tracked against a 2020 baseline, with some programs using adjusted baselines due to Covid-19. SSI scores progress on a 10-point scale, where the 2025 target equals 10/10 and the base year is 3/10. Scores are calculated per key performance indicator, averaged equally (excluding Local Commitment) and externally audited annually. In 2024, SSI 8 received “reasonable” assurance.

In Q1 2025, Schneider Electric helped customers save and avoid nearly 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide through its solutions. Since 2018, its energy-saving technologies have enabled 679 million tonnes in avoided emissions. It also achieved a 42 percent emissions cut from its top 1,000 suppliers through energy efficiency and renewables under the Zero Carbon Project.

The company has provided clean electricity to 53.4 million people and trained more than 824,000 individuals in energy management, nearing its 1 million target by 2025.

The company’s SSI score for 2024 reached 7.55 out of 10, surpassing the end-year target of 7.40. Monitoring and reporting on the 11 global commitments of its SSI’s quarterly progress remains essential to achieving the company’s goals across all dimensions of environmental, social and governance.

As the company enters the final year of its SSI program, Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Leong acknowledges the work that lies ahead while looking forward to “making progress and sustainability a reality for all.”
