Business review
52
Main accomplishments in 2002
a. A sustainable approach recognized by others
Since 2001, Schneider Electric has been listed on the ASPI
Eurozone sustainability index. For the 2003 edition, the
Company was selected for two major sustainable development
indexes: the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
(DJSI World), which includes 315 companies worldwide,
and the Dow Jones Sustainability Stoxx Index (DJSI Stoxx),
which includes 183 European companies.
b. Sales Institute launch
Created in 2002, the purpose of the Sales Institute is to
develop country organizations’ sales skills by encouraging the
exchange of best practices, developing training programs and
making new tools available on the Intranet. The first meeting in
Lisbon, Portugal, brought together some sixty Schneider
Electric sales managers worldwide on the theme: “How to give
our customers more value?”
c. Luli: committed employees
Launched in June 2002 by the Schneider Electric Foundation,
the international campaign known as “Luli” mobilized Company
employees in 60 countries. 63% of company sites participated.
The campaign’s objective was to help disadvantaged youth in
the education and training fields through local community
associations that are located near our facilities and selected
by the sites’ employees.
For one week the Company’s employees mobilized
to offer their work and talents. Many of them extended their
commitment throughout the year, participating actively in the
associations. Nearly 2.2 million were raised to support
145 projects. Luli will be continued, taking place again
in June 2003.
