30,000 T annual reduction of our C0 equivalent<br />
2<br />
emissions<br />
This indicator includes:<br />
• direct greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. emissions of SF in the<br />
6<br />
industrial sites concerned;<br />
• indirect emissions associated with energy use of industrial and<br />
logistics sites and a part of the most signifi cant tertiary sites<br />
(electricity, gas, fuel, diesel, urban heating);<br />
• indirect emissions, related to long distance freight.<br />
The emissions associated with these activities are converted into<br />
CO : 2<br />
• in the ratio of 23,900kg of CO for 1kg of SF used by the<br />
2 6<br />
International Energy Agency (IAE);<br />
• in energy to CO ratios of the IEA. Figures are taken for the One<br />
2<br />
program period (2009-2011). These conversion factors can be<br />
global (gas, fuel, diesel) or national (electricity, urban heating).<br />
In 2010, this scope was extended:<br />
• the number of sites reporting their energy use increased from 244<br />
sites in 2009 to 251 in 2010;<br />
• air and sea fl ows tracked cover 76% of all air and sea fl ows form<br />
the Group, as opposed to around 40% previously.<br />
These changes will take effect to compare the emissions of 2011<br />
with those of 2010.<br />
The indicator compares the equivalent CO volume released in year n<br />
2<br />
with the equivalent CO volume that the Group would have released<br />
2<br />
on a comparable basis without making any effort to cut its emissions.<br />
For instance, the effort made to make the industrial processes safe<br />
that use SF enabled the leakage rates of SF to be cut in year n<br />
6 6<br />
compared with year n-1; without this effort, it is considered that the<br />
leakage rates would have been equivalent in year n and in year n-1.<br />
Each of the three indicator components above were audited by Ernst<br />
& Young. The indicator was not audited because the comparison of<br />
energy use over two years, to calculate a cut in emissions, requires<br />
temperature variations to be neutralised on a comparable basis,<br />
which we are not yet in a position to calculate precisely: an action<br />
plan to do so is currently being prepared for 2011.<br />
2/3 of our products revenues achieved with Green<br />
Premium products<br />
A Green Premium product is defi ned by the following four criteria:<br />
• an Environmental Product Profi le available online;<br />
• an end-of-life instruction manual available online;<br />
• the list of substances of concern according to the European<br />
Directive REACH available online;<br />
• the observance of the content limits imposed for some<br />
substances by the RoHS EU Directive.<br />
The indicator measures the share of sales made with a Green<br />
Premium offer from sales fi gures for 2008; and sales made by “core”<br />
offers from the Group representing around 50% of product sales.<br />
The indicator does not measure, therefore, products adapted to local<br />
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br />
METHODOLOGY AND AUDIT OF INDICATORS<br />
market requirements and for which the environmental impacts could<br />
vary from those of the core range.<br />
This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young.<br />
2/3 of our employees work on ISO 14001 certified sites<br />
ISO 14001 is an international standard certifying the environmental<br />
management systems of sites.<br />
The sites purchased in 2010 after the purchase of the Areva<br />
Distribution business are not included.<br />
The indicator’s denominator recognises those under contract with<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> (fixed-term and open-ended contracts) and<br />
temporary staff (all of the Group employees) and its numerator<br />
those under contract with <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> (fi xed-term and openended<br />
contracts), the temporary staff and subcontractors from the<br />
ISO 14001 certifi ed sites. The indicator is thus increased.<br />
This indicator was audited by Ernst & Young.<br />
Exceeding the Group’s growth by 7 points per year<br />
with our energy efficiency activities<br />
The energy effi ciency activities are products, services and solutions<br />
sold by the Group contributing to at least one of the four stages of<br />
active energy effi ciency (measure, optimise, monitor, improve). Their<br />
choice in the Group’s offer is validated in Executive Committee.<br />
The 2010 exchange rate is applied to sales achieved in 2009 to<br />
calculate the growth in sales of the Group and energy effi ciency<br />
activities untouched by exchange rate effect. This method is<br />
also used by <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> to publish its growth figures.<br />
This restatement is achieved each year identically over the entire<br />
period of the Company’s One program (2009-2011).<br />
The turnover achieved by the Areva Distribution business purchased<br />
by the Group in 2010 is not included.<br />
Quarterly sales are calculated year to date over the year: the sales<br />
from the fi rst quarter of the year are compared with sales from<br />
the fi rst quarter of the previous year, then the sales of the fi rst two<br />
quarters of the year are compared with the sales of the fi rst two<br />
quarters of the previous year, and so on. The sales fi gures are reset<br />
to 0 on January 1.<br />

Implement a recovery process for SF gas<br />
6<br />
in 10 countries<br />
SF is one of the six greenhouse gases targeted by the Kyoto<br />
6<br />
Protocol.<br />
A SF recovery process is characterised by:<br />
6<br />
• the existence of a technical recovery solution and disposal or<br />
recycling of SF 6 ;<br />
• the existence of a commercial recovery offer for equipment<br />
containing SF 6 which are at their end-of-life;<br />
• the recovery and processing of equipment.<br />
