Our sustainable development scorecard

Schneider Electric is taking innovative actions to improve its sustainable development performance (such as the BipBop program). The Planet & Society Barometer shows the measurable goals of these actions. 

•  Communicate our progress plans.
•  Measure our performance quarterly.
•  Integrate sustainable development into the company program.
•  Give the history of our actions.

All the objectives of the Planet & Society Barometer are voluntary; none were dictated by legal constraints.
The Planet & Society Barometer is one of the indicators of the One Schneider Electric company program that sets the strategic priorities of the Group for 2009 to 2011.

The barometer is the answer to:

• socio-environmental challenges, such as reducing carbon emissions in the company's activities, quickly developing energy efficiency solutions and products or reducing accidents in factories;
• challenges that Schneider Electric considers to be strategic to enable it to continue to play a leading medium- and long-term role in its markets, such as the BipBop access to electricity program for the poorest populations on the planet, the commercial development of recovery services for devices containing SF₆ gas or the satisfaction of its employees.
