Sustainability has, in recent years, shifted from the margins to the center of the corporate agenda. At last count, 92% of the S&P 500 companies published an annual sustainability report, while over half of respondents to a recent IBM survey of CEOs identified sustainability as a top priority for their organization.
Schneider Electric has been at the forefront of this transformation. Long before the concept of “ESG” became commonplace in corporate discourse, sustainability was fundamental to our business, culture and values. We do not only lead by example as one of the world’s most sustainable companies, but we are also the digital partner for our customers, supporting them on their sustainability journey.
As employees at Schneider, we consider it a privilege to be part of an organization that is committed to achieving a positive impact on our environment, society and economy. If you wish also to be part of this community, or to learn more about our Sustainability Business, this is the podcast for you!
