Schneider Electric named one of 2016's most sustainable corporations
Energy management and automation company Schneider Electric has been named among the 2016 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations, placing 12th overall and first in its GICS Industry.
The Schneider Group has ranked among the top 15 corporations in the Corporate Knights sustainability index for the past four years.
Companies who make the Global 100 ranking, released every year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, are the top overall sustainability performers in their respective industrial sectors, selected from a starting group of 4353 listed companies with a market capitalisation greater than US$2 billion on 1 October 2015.
The Global 100 is determined using 12 quantitative sustainability indicators, such as the amount of revenue companies generate per unit of energy consumed.
In November 2015, as part of the Paris Climate Change Conference, Schneider Electric committed to make the company and its ecosystem neutral in the next 15 years.
