Schneider Electric made strong progress in the first quarter under its new sustainability roadmap, Impact 2030.

Global energy technology leader Schneider Electric has published the first quarter results for 2026 of its new sustainability roadmap, Impact 2030. Building on the company's long-standing leadership in sustainability, Impact 2030 is structured around four strategic pillars: leading global electrification, reshaping industry, unlocking human potential, and empowering local communities.

In the first quarter of this new cycle, the Impact score reached 3.40/10, marking a strong start toward the 4.20/10 target set for the end of 2026. This score reflects both Schneider Electric's efficiency in its own operations and the measurable results it delivers for its customers, suppliers, and communities.

Schneider Electric continued to decarbonize its operations, reducing Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by 82.5% compared to 2017. Through its energy management, automation, and digital solutions, the company enabled its customers to save or electrify 47.5 million MWh of energy this quarter. These efforts contributed to a total reduction and prevention of 20 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

To achieve large-scale progress, product design and manufacturing processes are also being re-evaluated. Schneider Electric continued to implement its new Future-designed framework in the first quarter. Within this framework, 14% of its key products and solutions in the design phase have already proven to meet circularity and environmental excellence criteria.

The company accelerated its Zero Carbon Pathway initiative, engaging suppliers across its supply chain. In the first quarter, the participation processes were initiated for more than 1,100 suppliers. Many of these suppliers participated in training programs offering practical tools and technical knowledge to advance their decarbonization efforts.

Promoting equal opportunity remains a key focus for the company. In the first quarter, more than 2.8 million people gained access to sustainable electricity thanks to community-focused solutions supported by Schneider Electric. During the same period, 113,000 people received training to improve their technical skills in energy, electrification, and automation. This brings the total number of people trained since 2009 to over 1.2 million.

Schneider Electric's Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), Esther Finidori, commented on the matter: “Impact 2030 provides the framework necessary to trigger a broad and systemic transformation that includes everyone. As our goals translate into tangible, consistent, and measurable progress, we expect positive results to accelerate and increase each quarter.”
