Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has announced its Q2 2025 extra-financial results, highlighting significant progress and achievements in its sustainability initiatives.
Empowering Underserved Communities
The company surpassed its goal of training 1 million people in energy management, a cornerstone of Schneider Electric's commitment to inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment. This training is being conducted through the Youth Education & Entrepreneurship Program, active in over 60 countries. The program focuses on equipping underserved communities with technical and entrepreneurial skills, supporting the energy transition and youth empowerment[1][4][5].
Transformative Progress Across ESG Goals
Maintaining strong progress under its 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program, Schneider Electric achieved an SSI score of 8.06 out of 10 this quarter, reflecting ongoing transformative progress across Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals[1][2][3].
Environmental Achievements
Environmental achievements included helping customers save and avoid 734 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions since 2018. Reducing operational CO₂ emissions from Schneider Electric's top 1,000 suppliers by 48% in Q2 2025 was another significant milestone, nearing its year-end target under the Zero Carbon Project[4][5].
Social Initiatives
The Decent Work Program reached 79% coverage in Q2 2025, a 39-point increase year-over-year, especially improving working conditions and compliance in the Middle East, East Asia, and Japan[4].
Recognition and Awards
Schneider Electric was honoured with several prestigious recognitions during this period, including being named the World’s Most Sustainable Company by TIME and Statista for the second consecutive year, Europe’s Most Sustainable Corporation by Corporate Knights, and ranked #1 in Gartner’s Top 25 Supply Chain 2025 for the 10th consecutive year[4].
The company also received awards for ESG reporting and corporate social excellence from the Labrador Transparency Awards and Rutgers Institute, as well as being named one of Europe’s Best Employers by the Financial Times[4].
Innovative Approaches to Sustainability Education
Innovative approaches to sustainability education were also highlighted, such as the use of digital twin technology in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, to train displaced communities in solar repair and e-waste recycling. The Conserve My Planet program also engages students in India, Kenya, Vietnam, and Thailand through hands-on sustainability projects[1].
Mobile training benches bring renewable energy education to incarcerated youth in Brazil, supporting reintegration and reducing recidivism. The Youth Education & Entrepreneurship Program is aligned with World Youth Skills Day 2025[1].
In summary, Q2 2025 was marked by strong global recognition and significant ground-level impact in sustainability education, emissions reduction, supply chain decarbonization, and workforce well-being as Schneider Electric accelerates the final phase of its 2021–2025 SSI program[1][4][5].
