www.se.com Schneider Electric 20 2021 Trust Report Continuing from the efforts in 2020, Schneider Electric has taken further preventive measures to mitigate the risk of employee exposure to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), such as restrictions on business travel, and limiting local visitors. Schneider Electric has developed various Health and Safety guidance documents, such as dealing with suspected COVID-19 case, safe operating guidelines, vaccination guidance, and procedures to support our communities facing the challenge of setting a “new normal” workplace. 8.3 Due diligence and results 8.3.1 Annual EHS Assessments To ensure successful implementation of the strategy, annual Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Assessments are performed in industrial sites worldwide. The EHS Assessment is a global process in which a site is evaluated to identify opportunities and to recognize excellence. At regional and global levels, EHS teams consolidate site results to identify and prioritize actions to support site performance, training needs, and cross-site mentoring opportunities. The EHS Assessment uses the same structure as the Schneider Performance System (SPS) (Company performance standardization tool) for simplified user-adoption and to enable further alignment to the SPS. 8.3.2 Global Safety Culture Survey As part of our safety strategy, Schneider Electric has launched its first Global Safety Culture Survey in 2021 to measure employee safety engagement, identify further safety opportunities, and develop future safety initiatives. The response rate of 77% of employees surveyed, showed solid engagement. The survey results shows that 87% of employees are positive about the Safety Culture at their site. 8.3.3 Safety awareness and communication Communication is important to ensure coordinated and standardized program implementation. This is evident through quarterly safety campaigns, safety alerts, workplace standards, and employee engagement to identify safety opportunities. These communication programs are deeply embedded into the safety culture at Schneider Electric. The Group also monitors proactive leading indicators, including safety employee engagement, which tracks the rate of employee participation in safety opportunities, and the effective application of the EHS Assessment tool. Safety opportunities reporting is well established with over 300,000 safety opportunities reported each year. The focus in 2022 will be to translate these opportunities into risk reduction actions. Training on hazards and their associated risks is an important part of Schneider Electric employee expectations. There are 258 safety-related topics, housed in the My Learning Link database. Schneider Electric employees have completed an average of 4.76 hours of safety training in 2021. Each quarter, the Group focuses on a key safety subject to bring attention to both workplace and human factors, that have caused serious injuries at Schneider Electric. The campaign includes a dedicated web-portal to access tools, videos, training materials, posters, and leader-led topics to further promote the importance of safety worldwide. The four quarterly safety campaigns culminated with the annual “Global Health & Safety Day” celebration held on October 18, 2021. During “Global Health & Safety Day” we emphasized the importance of “S.A.F.E. First, we all have a role to play”, through webinars, and persona posters that each Schneider Electric employee can relate to. A special emphasis was placed on the importance of performing “S.A.F.E. First Checks” to ensure that each employee is mentally focused and physically well before starting any new task. 8.3.4 Results summary Schneider Electric has been very successful in meeting goals for the reduction of workplace injuries and illnesses, including those injuries resulting in lost time days. Over the past 10 years, the Group has reduced the frequency of incidents (Medical Incident Rate, MIR) by 81% and the severity of incidents (Lost Time Incident Rate, LTIR) by 77%. 2021 has shown an MIR increase of 12% versus 2020, with a corresponding LTIR performance increase by 6%. 2020 excellent performance aside, impacted positively by the pandemic, the 2021 overall safety performance remains very much aligned with the last 10 years improvement trend. The MIR is the number of work incidents requiring medical treatment per million hours worked (i.e. average hours of 500 employees working for one calendar year). Work related injuries and occupational illnesses requiring medical treatment are included. The Occupational Illness Rate is tracked independently for benchmarking purposes and also to drive continuous improvement. The Occupational Illness Rate is 2.6% of our total medical incidents (MIR) in 2021. 8.3.5 Recognition and awards Schneider Electric was the recipient of several awards for occupational health and safety programs in 2021.
