103 Life Is On | Schneider Electric www.se.com 2021 Sustainable Development Report The example of the definition of “green thermoplastic” is provided in the illustration below. A GREEN THERMOPLASTIC IS REACH / RoHS / POP compliant (1) AND Case 1 If plastic is Halogen free (2) Case 2 If plastic is Halogenated (2) ≥ 20% of recycled content (3) ≥ 50% of recycled content (3) Complies with at least one criteria below: Complies with at least one criteria below: ≥ 20% of biobased content (4) ≥ 50% of biobased content (4) Green Flame Retardant For FR plastic only (5) (1) List January 2021 (2) According to EN 50642 (3) According to ISO 14021 & EN 45557 (4) According to EN 16785 or ASTM D6866 (5) According to GreenScreen used in TCO Certification At the end of 2021, 11% of materials in scope were qualified as “Green” under the definition described before. The inclusion of other commodities like copper, thermoset, and indirect steel will be reassessed in next phases, as the program maturity and the transparency of supply chains improve. Extending the Green materials scope to indirect procurement would allow to include new green criteria such as ‘lead-free alloy’, a substitution initiative Schneider Electric is working on to anticipate future regulation on lead. In January 2022, Schneider became a member of Responsible Steel, the world’s first global scheme for responsibly sourced and produced steel. Its mission is to enhance the responsible sourcing, production, use and recycling of steel. Schneider is one of the first steel products consumers outside of the automotive industry to join Responsible Steel. Being a member of Responsible Steel will allow the Group to have a voice to influence the scheme development while fostering opportunities to build strong partnerships with Steel manufacturers and consumers. In 2022, Responsible Steel will launch a standard for the certification of steel products. Schneider Energy Management and Industrial Automation businesses are currently working on an implementation roadmap of the green materials in the projects portfolio. Some offers, like Odace Sustainable, are already out, and more are expected to come from 2022 onwards. Increase green material content in our products to 50% The new Odace Sustainable offer from Schneider Electric is a range of stylish, smart switches and plug solutions for the residential market. Developed from recycled materials collected from electrical drop off centers and supermarkets, wasted plastics enter a circular economy loop using a WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment recycling) system, which transforms discarded materials into new products.
