Sustainable Governance

Responsibility, a key concept in sustainable development, is an integral part of Schneider Electric’s corporate culture and strategy.
Schneider Electric updated a set of guidelines entitled Our Principles of Responsibility to give all team members a common reference. All of the Group’s policies are aligned with this reference document.

Reference documents are distributed throughout the Group so that all team members can embrace this responsibility approach and apply it in line with local culture and legislation.

		Principles of Responsibility In a globalising world, our Principles of Responsibility provide a framework to guide each team member’s decisions and actions. The document outlines the Group’s commitments to each of its stakeholder groups, including employees, business partners, shareholders, the community and the planet. These principles provide a frame of reference for each team member and for the Group as a whole. All of the Group’s policies are aligned with the Principles of Responsibility.

		Environmental issues Schneider Electric’s environmental policy is designed to improve manufacturing processes, promote eco-design and integrate customer concerns in the area of environmental protection by fostering effective product and service solutions.

		Social issues Our Principles of Responsibility are Schneider Electric’s social charter. Across the Group, human resources policies are deployed governing diversity, hiring, international mobility, training, leadership competencies, total compensation and health.
