See how they use their innovative Planet and Society Barometer to get their sustainability results
The sustainability reporting performance of the CAC 40 , evaluated by Ecoact -- the climate expert firm -- examines the extent and quality of the carbon and sustainability measurement, reporting and reduction by France’s 40 largest companies using publicly available information.
According to this report Schneider Electric is distinguished as the only company in CAC 40 who is using an innovative tool to achieve reduction targets. The dashboard adopted by the company, called Planet and Society Barometer addresses how the company is performing against five identified key megatrends, including Climate and Circular Economy. And it also demonstrates that sustainability is part of its long-term strategy.
