Schneider Electric’s purpose is to empower all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all. At Schneider, we call this “Life is On”. We believe that trust is a foundational value. First, trust is earned, both by individuals and by organizations.
Second, trust serves as a compass, showing the true north in an ever more complex world. Third, trust is core to our Environment, Sustainability and Governance commitments. We want trust to power all our interactions with stakeholders and all our relationships with customers, shareholders, employees and the communities we serve, in a meaningful, inclusive and positive way. Hence we created this Trust Charter to act as our Code of Conduct and demonstrate our commitment to ethics, safety, sustainability, quality and cybersecurity, underpinning every aspect of our business and our willingness to behave and respond respectfully and in good faith to all our stakeholders. It is both our individual and collective responsibility to comply and respect laws and regulations, to apply our Schneider Policies and to uphold strong ethical principles to earn trust at all times.As trust fuels empowerment, each section of the charter states clear do’s and don’ts and provides clear references to relevant policies and procedures (which are adapted to meet local legal requirements when necessary). Our Code of Conduct applies to everyone working at Schneider or any of our subsidiaries. Hence, we train our employees yearly on the Trust Charter and regularly ask that they confirm their acceptance of its content.
