Press release

Gilles Vermot Desroches, Sustainability Senior VP at Schneider Electric, commented: "As the 21 objectives of our Schneider Sustainability Impact have demonstrated an excellent performance in 2018, we have decided to increase the level of our ambitions for 9 indicators* and the first quarter results, 6.23/10, shows that we were right to raise the bar higher. In 2019, we will accelerate the implementation of our action plans on key challenges such as climate change, biodiversity, ethic, development or health. We have already started, and we are happy to announce the new version of our Principles of Responsibility. It is the 4th version, fully aligned with the 10 principles of the Global Compact that we signed in 2002. Our PoR serve as a guide for the whole company in terms of ethics & compliance".

Quarter highlights

Climate:

-Schneider Electric continues its steady progress towards its "80% renewable electricity" goal by 2020. In Q1 2019, 35% of the Group electricity consumption was sourced from onsite solar rooftops, power purchase agreements, green contracts with utilities and certificates. Beginning of 2019, a new Power Purchase Agreement has been signed in Mexico, expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 13,000 tons per year. A new solar rooftop will also be commissioned in Schneider Electric Vietnam Manufacturing plant, connected to EcoStruxureTM Power and EcoStruxureTM Building for efficient energy management.

Circular economy:

-The "120,000 metric tons of avoided primary resource consumption through ECOFITTM, recycling and take-back programs" indicator reaches 49,538 metric tons. The batteries recycling activity counts for almost 90% due to high specific weight of this product, the relative ease to transport them and the value of the material inside. Many efforts have also been done in other activities for products like transformers, UPS and switchgear.

Health & Equity:

-Together with 8 other indicators of the Schneider Sustainability Impact, our learning indicator for workers is amplified to target that "100% of workers received 15 hours of learning in the year with 30% digital learning", instead of 12 hours. With this new objective, Schneider Electric shows its commitment to making digital and learning core to its culture. Measurement for this new KPI will be presented together with half year results.

Ethics:

-The " 100% of sales, procurement, and finance employees trained every year on anti-corruption" indicator reaches 39% for the first quarter, taking into account only the targeted employees who have not achieved this training last year. By beginning of Q2, all targeted employees will follow a new e-learningto be trained on anti-corruption.
