Schneider Electric has been focusing on sustainability for 25 years. The company was named the most sustainable organization in the world in 2022, and they are super proud of that. Using the United Nations' SDGs, the company is working toward its sustainability goals.
Hans Smid: "Sustainability is in our blood." Scheider Electric's booth during VSK 2024, for example, was completely circularly built. Signing the Sustainability Pledge was a no-brainer for Schneider Electric.
