Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric, a global player in the Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing industry headquartered in France, has set ambitious carbon emission reduction targets.

In 2025, Schneider Electric reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 60.7 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions constituted the vast majority, accounting for about 60.6 billion kg CO2e, with the use of sold products being the most significant contributor. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 100.3 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were around 23.8 million kg CO2e.

The company's climate commitments include a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. This aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Schneider Electric aims for a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050, compared to a 2021 base year, and a similar 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe.

For the near term, Schneider Electric has committed to a 76% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. The company also aims for a 25% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2030. Furthermore, Schneider Electric is working towards carbon-neutral operations by 2025 and has pledged to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2030. The company also engages with its top suppliers to reduce emissions, targeting a 50% reduction from their operations by 2025.
