www.se.com Schneider Electric Universal Registration Document 2021 210 Chapter 2 – Sustainable development 2.7 Methodology and audit of indicators Geographical scope are countries where the A2E program is operating, in APAC, Africa, Middle East, and South America. Within these A2E countries, the impact is calculated based on: • Individual and domestic electrification : the number of units sold is counted out of the defined list of references providing access to green electricity, and a coefficient is applied to translate into an estimated number of people impacted. • Collective electrification: the total power sold is counted out of the defined list of references giving access to green electricity; it is translated into a number of people impacted from an average energy consumption of a household in the targeted areas, estimated from external databases and studies. • Large A2E projects or electrification of public services : as an alternative to the above method, actual or statistical number of people connected can be taken into account. In this case, the technologies sold by Schneider can go beyond the strict A2E references, but their value must be at least equal to the estimated price of the project’s inverters. • Impact funds (SEEA, SEEA Asia and EAV): 100% of the impact of companies that contribute directly to the Schneider A2E mission of providing green and reliable electricity in Africa and in Asia are taken into account, as well as 50% of the impact of companies that contribute indirectly. To this result, we apply the percentage of participation of SE in the fund. An exhaustive list of products and solutions considered with reference codes is available and maintained. Considered products and solutions are those already available at the end of 2020, and the forthcoming products and solutions providing access to electricity. Products and solutions that are out of scope: A2E products and solutions that are sold out of A2E countries; other A2E products and solutions, not directly providing access to electricity (e.g. MPPT, EcoStruxure ™ for Energy Access, batteries, etc.). This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young. The methodology and 2021 performance was audited, not values cumulated before 2021. SSI #10: Create 2x opportunities for the next generation The purpose of this initiative is to ensure Schneider Electric has a sustainable talent strategy to develop a Next Generation (Next Gen) pipeline of talent through full-time, temporary, and self- paced opportunities. Our goal is to provide access to professional opportunities for young adults, educating them about sustainability and how Schneider Electric plays a part in this endeavor. To achieve this ambition to double opportunities, the Group accounts for the various ways it interacts with talent considered to be part of the next generation pipeline, including Student Opportunities and Recent Graduate Hires: • Student opportunities are defined as the workforce on the cusp of entering the job market, engaged in a temporary relationship with Schneider Electric with a defined start and end date at the onset (i.e.: Intern, learning event about Schneider and sustainability). • Recent Graduate Hires are recent graduates or early career professionals hires from a formal education program whose relationship with Schneider has a defined start date but open- ended end date (i.e.: Contract type: open ended contract, fixed term contract). Calculations are based on actual external requisition positions filled in the Global Applicant Tracking System and opportunities tracked via connect Candidate Relationship Management. This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young. SSI #11: Train 1 million people in energy management The deployment of professional training programs in energy management enable people to acquire skills to pursue a career that offers them, as well as their families, the means for a decent standard of living. These courses must benefit to disadvantaged people. They are defined according to a local reference and justifiable by the partner who must be able to justify the BoP nature of the people trained, related to the defined local benchmark. In partnership with local and international NGOs and local authorities, the Schneider Electric Foundation and the Company’s local entities provide direct and indirect contributions to professional training centers. The objective is to help them improve the level of vocational training courses with diploma or certification in energy management. As a technical partner, Schneider Electric does not pay operating expenses. The minimum duration of these courses is three months (or totaling 100 hours). Schneider’s Contributions may be (cumulative possible): • funding of electrical and didactic equipment, donation of request equipment, first generation, for practical work; • knowledge transfer through trainer training, and support for future entrepreneur training. The KPI score is calculated with the number of students enrolled in trainings courses, supported by Schneider Electric through partnership agreement (supporting documents (list of young people) required).” This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young. SSI #+1: 100% of Country and Zone Presidents define 3 local commitments that impact their communities in line with our sustainability transformation Since its creation in 2005, the former Planet & Society barometer (now Schneider Sustainability Impact), has focused on measuring progress against key sustainability performance indicators at worldwide level. In SSI 2021-2025 Schneider Electric introduces a new component to measure local impact because: • There is a high internal demand for local communication on progress, as well as to locally empower collaborators to contribute to our meaningful purpose; • Sustainability priorities are highly dependent on local context therefore it makes sense to not only deploy worldwide programs, but also local actions close to local context and needs. In order to boost local impact towards communities close to Schneider Electric, Countries with at least 100 employees have set 3 commitments aligned with the Group’s sustainability strategy, on different pillars: Climate, Resources, Trust, Equal, Generations and Local. Progress against these commitments is measured by precise Key Performance Indicators (KPI). The assessment of this objective
