SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br />
SUSTAINABLE GOVERNANCE<br />
Networks Description<br />
For: Energy Effi ciency Experts and solutions Within the Strategy and Innovation Department, the Energy Effi ciency and<br />
Solutions team rolls out and supports the Company’s and its employees’<br />
transition from a product-based approach to a solution-based approach.<br />
To achieve this, <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> works with a network of 13,000 employees,<br />
who are divided into dedicated sales and marketing teams and supported<br />
by technical experts and its 25 Solution Centers, where our architects are<br />
developing the solutions its customers want today and designing the solutions of<br />
tomorrow.<br />
For the Environment (see page 62-63).<br />
For Human Resources In the area of social policy, each central function executive and activity manager<br />
is responsible for ensuring effective human resources management within his or<br />
her area, implementing the One company program (see Chapter 1, page 19),<br />
deploying all human resources policies (including those covering health and<br />
diversity) and ensuring compliance with Our Principles of Responsibility.<br />
For communities: the network<br />
of <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> Foundation delegates (see page 84)<br />
3 Global policies<br />
The Our Principles of Responsibility document is not only <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong>’s Ethics Charter, it also constitutes a code of conduct. All of<br />
the Group’s policies stem from it (environment, quality, purchases<br />
and the different social policies).<br />
Environmental issues<br />
The fi rst version of <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s environmental policy was<br />
published in 1992, edited in 2004 and fi nalised in October 2007. It<br />
aims to improve industrial processes, reinforce product eco-design<br />
and incorporate the Group’s customers’ concerns for environmental<br />
protection, while providing product and service solutions.<br />
4 Planet & Society Barometer, a regular and objective measure<br />
of the Group’s actions<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> has used the Planet & Society Barometer as its<br />
sustainable development scorecard since 2005. The Barometer<br />
outlines the Group’s objectives for a three-year period and tracks<br />
progress made in achieving targets for the 2009-2011 period on a<br />
quarterly basis.<br />
There are no recognised standards that defi ne an organisation’s<br />
sustainable development performance. The Planet & Society<br />
Barometer is <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s response to this matter. All its<br />
objectives are voluntary, and none of them respond to any legal<br />
restrictions.<br />
The aim of the Planet & Society Barometer is to:<br />
• bring the corporate community together around sustainable<br />
development objectives;<br />
• communicate on the Group’s improvement plans with<br />
stakeholders.<br />
The Planet & Society Barometer is part of the One company program<br />
and is administered and promoted by the Sustainable Development<br />
Social issues<br />
The Group’s human resources policies cover the following issues:<br />
diversity, recruiting, international mobility, training, leadership skills,<br />
total remuneration and health/safety.<br />
Department. It comprises 13 key performance indicators graded over<br />
10. The average of the grades provides the global performance of<br />
the barometer. Departments directly concerned by the improvement<br />
plans (Human Resources, Environment, Access to Energy, etc.),<br />
implement measures to achieve the plans’ goals. Each department<br />
is represented by a project leader, who works directly with local<br />
managers in their respective areas.<br />
With the introduction of the new One company program in 2009,<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> defined new ambitions for its sustainable<br />
development approach, following up on its ten targets for 2005-2008<br />
with 13 environmental, economic and social improvement plans.<br />
The table on page 47 presents <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s sustainable<br />
development performance in 2010. When the Barometer was<br />
launched on January 1, 2009, the overall score was 3.00/10. The<br />
overall score increased from 6.00/10 at January 1, 2010 to 7.62 at<br />
December 31, 2010.<br />
