Schneider Electric, a leader in digital transformation in energy management and automation, has been recognized as the most sustainable corporation in Europe by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and research company specializing in corporate sustainability performance.
This recognition puts Schneider Electric at the top of the inaugural Europe 50 ranking, which evaluated more than 600 publicly traded European companies against a comprehensive set of sustainability criteria. This follows the company’s previous recognition in January 2025 as the world’s most sustainable corporation, which was also awarded by Corporate Knights as part of their renowned Global 100 ranking.
Together, these honors confirm Schneider Electric’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and its leadership in driving meaningful change across industries and geographies.
“At Schneider Electric, sustainability is not just a priority, it is embedded in our purpose and mission,” said Esther Finidori, Schneider Electric’s newly appointed Chief Sustainability Officer. “Being recognized as the most sustainable corporation in Europe is a strong endorsement of our efforts to make a positive impact through innovation, transparency and collaboration. We are proud to lead by example and remain committed to accelerating our contribution to a more sustainable and inclusive world.”
The Europe 50 is based on the same rigorous methodology as the Global 100, evaluating companies across a wide range of ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance indicators, such as carbon performance, net income, board diversity and sustainability-related investments. The scope of this ranking covers the constituents of the STOXX Europe 600 index, as well as the 100 largest public companies headquartered in Europe by market capitalization.
This dual recognition – both globally and regionally – underscores the positive impact that Schneider Electric is making. Through its innovative technologies and solutions, the company supports customers and partners in reducing their environmental footprint, improving energy efficiency, and advancing their sustainability goals.
