Schneider Electric wins sustainability gong

Schneider Electric has been named the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation 2025 by Corporate Knights, having previously won the award in 2021. It is the only company to have won the award twice.

“For many years now, sustainability has been at the heart of what Schneider Electric does,” says Schneider Electric CEO Olivier Blum. “This second title as the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation from Corporate Knights, alongside other key ESG recognitions, is testimony to the valuable, long-term positive impact we have.” 

Schneider Electric says the award recognises the company’s emphasis on energy efficiency, electrification and decarbonisation, as well as the gender diversity of its executives and board directors. The company received high scores for its efforts to decouple its energy consumption and carbon emissions from its business growth, as well as its investment in sustainable research and development. Corporate Knights highlighted the correlation between Schneider Electric’s sustainability performance and executive pay incentives.
