The 2021 – 2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact program offers ways to implement quick and disruptive changes on issues identified as a priority by the Group and its stakeholders. Key stakes for our ecosystem identified by the materiality assessment To consolidate the relationship and expectations of its external and internal stakeholders, Schneider Electric updates its materiality assessment on a regular basis. In 2020, the Group launched the stakeholder consultation process to update its materiality matrix and build the new Schneider Sustainability Impact. Almost 200 stakeholders – customers, suppliers, international organizations, trade associations, experts, shareholders, senior managers, and members of the Executive Committee – were invited to assess the importance of the challenges facing the Group. The general consensus was that companies need to become more resilient in the face of growing environmental, social, political, and economic instability. What stakeholders most expect from the Group is genuine leadership in decarbonizing the economy through its businesses, products, and solutions. The four main trends were climate, circular economy, a fair and equitable transition, and digitized, cybersecure solutions. All 31 issues raised were deemed important, thus reinforcing our holistic vision of sustainability and the Company’s extended responsibility to its ecosystem, in particular its supply chain.
