Schneider Electric has announced that it has trained more than one million people in energy management, surpassing a major milestone in its commitment to an inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment.
The achievement was highlighted in the company’s Q2 2025 extra-financial results, marking a significant step as it approaches the final phase of its 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) programme. With six months left, Schneider reported an SSI score of 8.06 out of 10, reflecting steady progress across its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets.
The milestone, timed with World Youth Skills Day 2025, was largely driven by the Youth Education and Entrepreneurship Programme, now active in more than 60 countries.
Schneider also reported strong progress on other sustainability metrics. Since 2018, its solutions have enabled customers to avoid or save 734 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions, surpassing the 700-million-tonne mark. Meanwhile, its Zero Carbon Project which supports supply chain partners with local solutions, on-site guidance, renewable energy insights, and training has helped cut emissions from its top 1,000 suppliers by 48%, bringing it close to its year-end target.
The Decent Work Programme also recorded gains, reaching 79% coverage in Q2 2025, an increase of 39 points year-on-year, with notable improvements in working conditions and compliance across the Middle East and East Asia & Japan.
Commenting on the achievement, Schneider Electric’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Esther Finidori, said:
“As an impact company and the world’s most sustainable company, we believe education is one of the most powerful drivers of long-term transformation. Surpassing one million people trained in energy management is a proud moment and a reminder of what’s possible when purpose meets action. With six months left in our 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact programme, our priority is clear: accelerate with determination and deliver lasting impact.”
