In 2024, Schneider Electric reported total carbon emissions of approximately 55,792,894,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 106,360,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 37,348,000 kg CO2e, and a significant Scope 3 contribution of about 56,000,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting across all scopes. The company has set ambitious targets to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2025 and aims for net-zero emissions across its entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2040. Specifically, Schneider Electric plans to reduce absolute emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 76% from a 2021 baseline by 2030. Additionally, it has committed to a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by the same year. Schneider Electric's long-term goals include a 90% reduction in absolute emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 2050, alongside a similar target for Scope 3 emissions. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect the company's commitment to the 1.5°C climate trajectory. Overall, Schneider Electric's comprehensive approach to carbon emissions reduction demonstrates its leadership in sustainability within the electrical equipment and machinery sector, with a clear roadmap towards achieving significant emissions reductions and ultimately reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.
