This relationship provides networking and alliances with other leading organizations working to create opportunities for women engineers and technologists. This partnership with SWE provides recruitment, development, exposure, and leadership opportunities for Schneider Electric USA employees. Initiatives in India In India, through a program named “Her Second Innings”, Schneider Electric strives to leverage an untapped talent pool, by hiring women who are looking to re-enter the workforce after a career break. Schneider Electric Greater India also has a leadership development program, “URJA” (which translates to “Energy” in English), which is designed to harness the leadership skills of mid- career women employees identified as solid potentials. As of the end of 2021, about 600 women have participated in the program. Increase gender diversity in hiring (50%), front-line management (40%), and leadership teams (30%) In line with its gender diversity goal, Schneider Electric is focused on building a robust female talent pipeline. The company has set bold 50/40/30 targets, committing to increase representation of women to reach 50% of all new hires, 40% of frontline managers, and 30% of leadership by 2025. This requires strategic planning, targeted talent development, accountability mechanisms, and most importantly, the support of everyone in the organization, starting with anyone involved in hiring or promotion decisions. This is why Schneider Electric ensures that its talent processes are fair and equitable, and the organization counts on each leader, when making a hiring or promotion decision, to help advance its overall goal to create a skilled and diverse workforce for the future.

The Group’s multi-hub model is key to deliver on this ambition. Schneider Electric believes in a multi- local world with locally tailored solutions supported by diverse teams across the globe to best meet its customers’ needs with customization, quality, and speed. In the “next normal” world, with continued disruption and need for speed and agility, the multi-hub operating model is more relevant than ever. The opportunity for Schneider Electric to be the “most local of global companies” with a balanced multi-hub footprint to enable customer proximity, innovation, speed, collaboration, and diversity, is a key differentiator for Schneider’s long-term success. To continue to reinforce the “equity and equal opportunities” strategy and to reinforce its reputation as the most global of local companies, Schneider Electric ensures that its leadership footprint is in line with its business footprint. As of end of 2021, 34.5% of Schneider Electric’ leadership team is from new economies, and 84% of country presidents are from the country or region they are leading. Schneider also has a global commitment on ethnicity and racial equity, with countries in the lead to drive ambition and actions. The goal set for racial equity and inclusion means: • Employee population is reflective of the communities operated by Schneider Electric, including at the leadership level; • Employees have equal opportunity for growth and training; • Everyone feels safe, valued, and respected for who they are, to be their authentic self. In line with this goal, since 2021, Schneider Electric has been an active member of the Business for Inclusive Growth Partnership (B4IG) Working Group on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, whose first order of business was to gather best practices and develop guidelines to advance ethnic diversity and inclusion in the corporate world. These “Operational Recommendations for Ethnic Diversity & Inclusion” were drafted collectively and endorsed by B4IG-participating CEOs in December 2021. They will serve as guidance while Schneider Electric continues to drive change in this area, at the global level.
