Ethical stock market indices<br />
A key performance indicator was set in the Planet & Society<br />
Barometer for the duration of the 2009-2011 One program: to<br />
ensure <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s presence in the four major SRI (Socially<br />
Responsible Investing) indices – the DJSI World, the DJSI Europe,<br />
the ASPI Eurozone and the FTSE4Good.<br />
At year-end 2011, <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> was included in three of the<br />
leading ethical investment indices, compared with two in 2010. In<br />
fact, the Group was confi rmed in the DJSI Europe index and the ASPI<br />
Eurozone index, rejoined the DJSI World index, and was excluded<br />
from the FTSE4Good index because part of its activity is within the<br />
military sector (1%, mainly in electrical distribution). This last index is<br />
therefore not a priority target for the 2012-2014 period.<br />
