As part of SSI #10, our five-year ambition is to grow the early-career pipeline by two times. This involves leveraging traditional approaches today but migrating to more digital, borderless, and self-paced offers, ensuring the Company can de-bias practices and create a more equal playing field for those interested in Schneider and sustainability. This will be achieved through flagship global programs and partnerships, supplemented by country-specific initiatives: • Schneider Global Virtual Student Experience: A completely digital experience designed to provide students with a way to engage with Schneider Electric through e-learning modules and on project simulations that mirror the skills and qualities that are important to our mission and when serving customers. • Schneider Go Green: an annual global competition for business and Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) students around the world to find innovative solutions for energy management and automation. Over the past ten years, Schneider Go Green has had over 117,400 registrants and more than 21,700 students have submitted ideas from 172 countries. In 2021 alone, more than 25,400 students registered with close to 2,800 students submitted their ideas, proving that Go Green continues to be consistent in developing strong and increasing interest from students for this contest, especially from emerging economies. • Development programs around the world that are structured to help support the acceleration of early career talent through a robust training and development path including graduate programs, internships, apprenticeships, and co-ops. • Sponsorship initiatives, virtual Careers Fairs, office/site tours, Innovation Summit tours, digital and face-to-face speaking engagements and networking opportunities, mentoring relationships. 2x number of opportunities for interns, apprentices, and fresh graduate hires Schneider Global Virtual Student Experience In 2021, the Company ran a digital and borderless learning experience, providing opportunities to the next generation of talent broken into three phases: skills building through professional e-learning courses, project simulation using genuine business problems, and feedback and coaching from Schneider Electric employees.

Over 250 events took place with employees participating from over 90 countries, sharing career stories, having career check-in conversations with their manager, learning about different roles and skills, and being equipped with tools and resources to develop, grow, and shape their future. 95% of employees surveyed were positive about the event, especially appreciating the time to discuss and learn about career development.
