Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy technologies, has been named the world’s most sustainable company for the third consecutive year by TIME magazine and Statista. The award is based on a ranking of the world’s 5,000 largest and most influential companies and reflects Schneider Electric’s long-standing commitment to integrating sustainability principles into its business strategy, corporate governance, and operations.
In pursuing its vision of advancing energy technologies to drive progress for all, Schneider Electric leverages its leadership in electrification, energy efficiency, and digitalization to create a positive impact on a global scale.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from TIME and Statista for the third consecutive year,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “As energy becomes an increasingly important driver of economic growth, competitiveness, and social development, the need for smarter energy use continues to grow. We are convinced that intelligent energy management is a key driver of efficiency and decarbonization, helping our customers create long-term value while reducing emissions. It is this conviction that has guided Schneider Electric’s development for many years and continues to underpin our innovations, operations, and the advancement of energy technologies.”
This year’s recognition is particularly significant, as Schneider Electric recently unveiled its new sustainability program, Impact 2030. It is built around four strategic pillars: electrifying the world, transforming industry, unlocking human potential, and empowering local communities. The company assesses progress quarterly using measurable metrics, ensuring transparency and accountability at all levels.
In the first quarter of 2026, Schneider Electric reported an 82.5% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO₂ emissions compared to the 2017 baseline, confirming the increased sustainability and efficiency of the company’s own operations.
Schneider Electric also reported the following results:
As part of the Impact 2030 program, Schneider Electric is also strengthening collaboration with its partner ecosystem, as the company is convinced that large-scale change can only be achieved through joint efforts. This applies first and foremost to collaboration with suppliers:
in the first quarter, more than 1,100 suppliers joined the Zero Carbon Pathway initiative, aimed at reducing the carbon footprint and strengthening climate responsibility at all stages of the value chain.
Amid growing global uncertainty and fragmentation, Schneider Electric also believes that long-term sustainable development is only possible with a strong local foundation. It is communities and people who are the driving force behind sustainable change, helping to translate global goals into tangible results at the local level. In the first quarter of 2026:
“As we embark on a new phase of implementing our sustainability strategy, we are combining ambition with responsibility. This third consecutive recognition confirms that we are moving in the right direction, and at the same time commits us to achieving even more,” said Esther Finidori, Director of Sustainability at Schneider Electric. “Impact 2030 lays the foundation for scaling our positive impact, and we are committed to accelerating this progress quarter after quarter.”
In addition to being named the world’s most sustainable company by TIME and Statista for the third consecutive year, Schneider Electric is also the only company to have ranked first on the Corporate Knights Global 100 list twice—in 2021 and 2025. Furthermore, Schneider Electric has been included on the Climate A List of the international environmental organization CDP for 15 consecutive years, confirming its consistent leadership in the fight against climate change.
