As a global Company, Schneider Electric is convinced that its responsibility goes beyond compliance with local and international regulations and is committed to conducting its business ethically, sustainably, and responsibly. The Company is constantly interacting with all stakeholders throughout the world: its borders are expanding, its environment is changing ever faster, its activities are becoming globalized, and its social responsibilities are growing. The challenge is to gain and maintain the highest confidence of its stakeholders. To support each employee in this approach, the Group emphasizes the importance of placing responsibility at the heart of its corporate governance. The Group currently has around 128,000 employees worldwide. Following the Group’s various acquisitions, it has been able to integrate this exceptional professional and cultural diversity. 5.2 G roup policy Schneider Electric considers freedom of association and collective bargaining as fundamental rights that must be respected everywhere and therefore in its Trust Charter commits to complying with local laws in every country where it operates. In its Human Rights Policy, Schneider confirms that it considers freedom of association as the basis of a regular dialog between a company and its employees. To that purpose, Schneider respects the individual right of its employees to freely join, participate in, or quit labor organizations to assert and defend their interests. Subsequently, Schneider guarantees that any employee wishing to do so shall be protected against any internal measure limiting his or her freedom of association such as discrimination of any kind, pay loss, or dismissal. Schneider also recognizes the importance of dialog with freely appointed employee representatives, employee representative bodies (such as Works Councils or employee forums), or organizations (like trade unions) and supports collective bargaining. In addition, Schneider joined the Global Deal initiative in 2017. The Group is promoting social dialog as a means to foster decent work, quality jobs, increased productivity and, by extension, greater equality and inclusive growth.
