The CDP publishes a score for transparency in companies’<br />
communication regarding their strategy to combat climate change<br />
(Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index – CDLI) and, since 2010, it has<br />
included a score for the integration of climate change challenges<br />
into the Company’s strategy and activities in this area (Carbon<br />
Performance Leadership Index – CPLI).<br />
• <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong>’s score on the CDLI (out of 100) has fallen<br />
continuously over the last three years. In its action plan, the Group<br />
has prioritised the signifi cant reduction of carbon emissions within<br />
a defi ned scope (scope 1 and 2 as defi ned in the GHG Protocol<br />
and a small part of scope 3), perhaps to the detriment of extensive<br />
reporting work on scope 3 of the GHG Protocol: measurement<br />
of emissions from transport and purchases, measurement of<br />
the carbon impact of our green services and products for our<br />
customers, measurement of our emissions by activity or Group<br />
entity. The requirements of the CDP increase from one year to the<br />
next, while the number of companies publishing information on<br />
their carbon programs also increases.<br />
• The Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index assesses the quality<br />
of the strategy, governance, communication with stakeholders<br />
and actions related to climate change on an A (maximum) to D<br />
(minimum) scale. Only businesses that score over 50 on the CDLI<br />
can feature on the CPLI. The B score is attributed to businesses<br />
which “are rapidly adapting”.<br />

Main Plans of Action in 2010<br />
Actions to reduce emissions at the Group’s sites (SF6 gas + energy consumption)<br />
To fulfi ll the objective of the Planet & Society Barometer to reduce<br />
our emissions of CO equivalent by 30,000 tons per year, we must<br />
2<br />
reduce industrial SF gas leaks to a rate of 1.2% of gas bought<br />
6<br />
(the objective for 2011 is to further reduce this to 1%) and energy<br />
consumption in our sites by 4% per year and per employee between<br />
2009 and 2011. To this end, the following actions were conducted<br />
in 2010:<br />
• specifi c objectives to reduce the carbon footprint for the <strong>Schneider</strong><br />
<strong>Electric</strong> industrial scope were defi ned and taken into account to<br />
calculate the variable share of the salary of all employees involved<br />
in industrial operations who received a bonus;<br />
• monthly reporting of the indicators for the reduction of the<br />
industrial carbon footprint for all sites concerned, compared with<br />
twice yearly in previous years. The carbon footprint of scopes 1<br />
and 2, as defi ned in the GHG Protocol, is calculated monthly, as<br />
is the performance of each site concerned;<br />
• since 2010, the carbon performance has been presented monthly<br />
to the Management of the Industrial Operations Management by<br />
the Group’s Environmental Director and the three SERE Directors;<br />
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br />
SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC’S COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE<br />
• a Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) has<br />
been deployed for manufacturing processes that involve SF 6 gas;<br />
• the Energy Action program, which included the deployment of<br />
the EEM system (Energy Effi ciency Monitoring) in more energy<br />
intensive sites, was implemented in 2010 (see pages 66-67).<br />
Actions to reduce emissions linked to freight<br />
Actions were conducted in 2010 to reduce the proportion of air<br />
freight in long distance freight to 20% between 2009 and 2011 :<br />
• the scope of monitoring of tons transported by long distance<br />
freight was extended to 76% (compared to 40% in 2009).<br />
• the importance of the reduction of CO emissions was the<br />
2<br />
subject of an awareness campaign among the Group’s transport<br />
community. Work is being carried out with the suppliers to<br />
prepare a global carbon assessment of transport in 2011.<br />
• the respective proportions of air and sea freight are monitored<br />
monthly by the Global Supply Chain Management.<br />
• the key managers of the supply chain receive a share of their<br />
annual bonus based on the fulfi llment of objectives for air/sea<br />
freight ratios.<br />
Despite a 40% increase in long-distance fl ows due to localised<br />
problems of a shortage of electronic components worldwide, the<br />
share of tons transported by air remained stable at 20%.<br />
Goods transportation is the second largest source of CO emissions<br />
2<br />
at <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> (37% of CO emissions based on the<br />
2<br />
Company’s 2006 carbon assessment).<br />
In addition to the Company’s actions to fulfi ll the objective of the<br />
One program, 2010 also saw other commitments and actions to<br />
extend measurements and reduce emissions of CO linked to the<br />
2<br />
transportation of goods and prepare the next company program<br />
beyond 2011.<br />
Two signifi cant commitments were undertaken in 2010:<br />
• the systematic evaluation of the CO impact linked to transport<br />
2<br />
for all designs to modify industrial infrastructures;<br />
• the systematic evaluation of the Group’s capacity to measure CO2 emissions linked to transport when auditing our logistics sites.<br />
In addition, the constant streamlining of logistics, which helps<br />
reduce CO emissions due to goods transportation continued to<br />
2<br />
provide a focus within the <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> entities in 2010. The<br />
various actions conducted included the following: the closure of 10<br />
distribution centers, the identifi cation and constant simplifi cation of<br />
complex historical fl ows linking several levels of stock in our supply<br />
chain, the transfer of the regional distribution center for the Asia<br />
Pacifi c zone from Hong Kong to Singapore, the barycenter for our<br />
international fl ows in the zone, and the consolidation of fl ows from<br />
different activities in the same city and under the same roof when<br />
this makes sense.<br />
