2 Sustainable development

Sustainable development at the heart of our strategy

Revenue breakdown Every year for the last 12 years, Schneider Electric has published a diagram showing its revenue distribution for its various stakeholders. This exercise allows the importance of each stakeholder to be highlighted from the point of view of financial flows and shows their share in this flow.

Schneider Electric engages in an open and continuous dialog with each of its stakeholders. In particular, the Sustainable Development Department takes into account the comments, ratings and evaluations from stakeholders on the Group’s sustainable development policy and programs. This feedback is integrated into the drawing up of the registration document, the Group corporate brochure (strategy and sustainable development report), the integrated report, and new progress plans throughout the Company program as well as during the design of the Planet & Society Barometer every 3 years.
