commitment signed by their PDG in order to be included in the<br />
indicator. This is the same for companies with less than 10 people<br />
who cannot commit to the Global Compact. The indicator is<br />
calculated on a comparable basis.<br />
This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young.<br />
Four major ethical stock indexes select <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong><br />
The indicator measures the presence of <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> in the<br />
following four ethical stock market indices:<br />
• the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World;<br />
• the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Europe;<br />
• the Advanced Sustainable Performance Index (ASPI) Eurozone;<br />
• the FTSE4Good.<br />
This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young.<br />
Decrease by 10% annually the frequency of accidents<br />
at work<br />
The lost time injury frequency rate corresponds to the number of<br />
accidents resulting in more than one day of lost work over a period<br />
of twelve months per millions hours worked. All accidents reported<br />
on <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> sites are counted (including therefore accident<br />
affecting subcontractors on site and temporary workers).<br />

14 points increase in the Company’s employee<br />
recommendation score<br />
This indicator measures the results of quarterly surveys from all of<br />
the Group’s employees (those on fi xed-term contracts – including<br />
work-study participants – and on permanent contracts). The<br />
Employee Net Promoter Score is measured with the question:<br />
“To what extent would you recommend <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> to your<br />
friends as being a business where it is pleasant to work?”. Polls are<br />
considered as “in favour of”, “undecided” or “against”, depending<br />
on the rating they select on a scale from 0 to 10 (against from 0 to<br />
6, undecided from 7 to 8, in favour of from 9 to 10). The indicator<br />
measures the difference between those who are for and those who<br />
are against. This methodology is also used for the Customer Net<br />
Promoter Score.<br />
