Schneider Electric reported a Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) score of 7.95 out of 10 for the first quarter of 2025—well on track to meet its year-end goal of 8.80.
Recently named the world’s most sustainable corporation by Corporate Knights, Schneider continues to make meaningful progress in its final year of the current SSI program. In addition to its Q1 update, the company also released its sustainability performance for Q4 2024, revealing a year-end SSI score of 7.55—surpassing its 2024 target of 7.40.
The SSI framework, aligned with Schneider’s business strategy, tracks progress across 11 global ESG commitments, scored on a 10-point scale (with 2020 as the baseline year, rated at 3/10). Performance is measured quarterly, with independent external audits conducted annually. In 2024, SSI metric #8 received “reasonable” assurance.
“In 2024, we were recognized by both TIME and Statista as the World’s Most Sustainable Company and again topped Corporate Knights’ Global 100 list—an honor no other company has achieved twice,” said Chris Leong, Chief Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric. “These accolades fuel our drive to deliver even greater impact in 2025, the final year of our current sustainability journey.”
