Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been named the World’s Most Sustainable Company by TIME and Statista for the second year in a row, reinforcing its position at the forefront of corporate sustainability.
This is according to a statement made available.
The recognition comes as the company released its Q2 2025 extra-financial results, marking a significant moment as it enters the final six months of its 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact programme. The latest results show that Schneider Electric achieved an SSI score of 8.06 out of 10, underscoring its sustained momentum across key environmental, social, and governance objectives.
The accolade follows a series of prestigious awards, including being named Europe’s Most Sustainable Corporation by Corporate Knights, ranking first in the Gartner Top 25 Supply Chain 2025 list after a decade of consistent performance, and winning in the “Impact for Sustainability” category of the inaugural TIME100 Companies Impact awards. Schneider Electric also secured the “Best ESG Information” award from the Labrador Transparency Awards and received the “Corporate Social Excellence” award from the Rutgers Institute, recognising 16 years of impact investing.
Chief Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric, Esther Finidori, said, “As an impact company and the World’s Most Sustainable Company, we believe that education is one of the most powerful drivers of long-term transformation.
“Surpassing one million people trained in energy management is a proud moment and a reminder of what’s possible when purpose meets action. With six months left in our 2021–2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact programme, our priority is clear: accelerate with determination and deliver lasting impact.”
The company’s achievements in the second quarter extended beyond awards to tangible results. Schneider Electric surpassed its target of training one million people in energy management, a cornerstone of its commitment to an inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment.
Its Youth Education & Entrepreneurship Programme, active in more than 60 countries, has been instrumental in delivering this impact through innovative initiatives such as using digital twin technology to train displaced communities in Bangladesh, engaging students in sustainability projects across India, Kenya, Vietnam, and Thailand, and bringing renewable energy education to incarcerated youth in Brazil.
Environmental progress also continued at pace, with the company helping customers save and avoid 734 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions since 2018 and achieving a 48 per cent reduction in operational CO₂ emissions from its top 1,000 suppliers, just two points shy of its year-end goal.
