The <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Foundation brings home the<br />
Admical Oscar<br />
The Oscar awarded by the company Admical was presented<br />
to the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Foundation in 2011. For more than 30<br />
years Admical has organised this initiative that recognises French<br />
companies or companies based in France for their exemplary<br />
and original sponsorship policy in all areas of general interest:<br />
social, education, health, culture, sport, environment, research,<br />
international solidarity, etc. The jury, independent of Admical, is<br />
made up of qualifi ed persons from the world of business, general<br />
interest, media and communication.<br />
“This award honours the actions that we are undertaking. It also<br />
gives us the opportunity to affi rm our particular vision of sponsorship<br />
and its prominent role within the company, through the involvement<br />
of foundation delegates and <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> employees, but also<br />
its direct and original contribution to the BipBop energy access<br />
program” said Gilles Vermot Desroches, Sustainable Development<br />
Director, General Delegate of the Foundation.<br />
In 2003, the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> foundation received the Admical<br />
Oscar for company sponsorship.<br />
Luli celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2011<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> employees, donors and partner organisations<br />
met in 2011 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Luli, the<br />
international mobilisation campaign co-ordinated by the <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong> Foundation. As in every year, the Luli campaign is always<br />
a joyful moment when local initiatives to support partnerships and<br />
involvement with local organisations undertaken by <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong> employees and the 120 Foundation delegates throughout<br />
the world can take centre stage.<br />
Luli in 2011 will involve: 28,000 mobilised employees, 150 initiatives,<br />
80 supported organisations and 50 participating countries.<br />

Creation of the “<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Teachers” NGO<br />
Since the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Foundation was created in 1998, it<br />
has placed Group employee involvement at the heart of its work.<br />
Whether Foundation delegates or employee volunteers, they are<br />
the link between the company, the Foundation and the supported<br />
organisations in more than 70 countries.<br />
The creation the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Teachers organisation at the<br />
start of 2012 resulted from the desire of <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> and<br />
the Foundation to do more to support voluntary work of <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong> current and retired employees in the teaching and<br />
professional training programs. The main objective was to provide a<br />
new contribution to the BipBop training programs and to undertake<br />
300 missions in three years. This indicator is included in the Planet<br />
& Society Barometer 2012-2014.<br />
