Schneider Electric's Impact 2030: A Mid-Year Progress Report

Six months after unveiling its Impact 2030 sustainability roadmap, Schneider Electric has demonstrated significant progress across three key areas: emissions reduction, supplier decarbonization, and energy access. These advancements underscore the company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and set a strong foundation for achieving its 2030 goals.

Emissions Reduction: A Steady Decline

  • Scope 1 & 2 Emissions: Schneider Electric reported a 24% reduction in absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions compared to its 2019 baseline, marking a steady decline towards its 2030 target of net-zero emissions.
  • Renewable Energy Consumption: The company increased its consumption of renewable energy by 25% year-on-year, further driving down its carbon footprint.

Supplier Decarbonization: Collaborative Efforts

Schneider Electric understands the critical role its suppliers play in achieving its sustainability goals. In the first half of 2026, the company engaged with 80% of its strategic suppliers to discuss and support their decarbonization efforts. This collaborative approach is essential for reducing Scope 3 emissions and driving collective progress towards a low-carbon economy.

Energy Access: Powering Progress

  • Access to Energy: Schneider Electric provided access to energy for 1.2 million people in off-grid and under-electrified communities, bringing it closer to its target of reaching 10 million people by 2030.
  • Energy Efficiency: The company's energy efficiency solutions helped customers save 12.5 TWh of energy, equivalent to avoiding 6.5 million tons of CO2 emissions.

These achievements not only demonstrate Schneider Electric's dedication to sustainability but also highlight the practical implications for ESG compliance and reporting. As the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) come into effect, companies are increasingly expected to track, report, and reduce their environmental impact. Schneider Electric's progress serves as a testament to the value of proactive sustainability management and the role of technology in driving change.
