A unique Schneider Sustainability Impact for concrete and measurable progress For 15 years, Schneider Electric has measured its holistic sustainability performance through a dashboard called Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) and has set specific governance bodies to ensure that sustainability is positioned within every part of the Group’s strategy from the Board of Directors to the operational levels. The SSI is a transformation scorecard demonstrating that rapid, disruptive changes for a more sustainable world are possible across diverse, complex topics. Its scoring scale of 10 provides an overall measure of the Group’s progress on sustainability objectives. By tracking our performance and publishing quarterly results, we uphold our commitments to the SDGs and industry leadership in corporate social responsibility. The new 5-year SSI 2021 – 2025 features 11 global impacts plus one local impact linked to six long- term commitments.
