7. Indicators
7.1 Environmental indicators
The indicators below have a Group scope. They illustrate our
industrial and logistics sites’ environmental consumption, emission
and waste in addition to certain major tertiary sites. The scope
of environmental reporting is that of ISO 14001 certifi ed sites,
and certain non-certifi ed sites on a voluntary basis and without
interruption in time. All of the industrial and logistics sites with
more than 50people and the major tertiary sites with more than
500people must be ISO14001 certifi ed within two years after their
acquisition or creation. A difference can be established with the
scope of fi nancial consolidation. ISO14001 sites cover about 70%
of the Group.
Schneider Electric provides readers two pieces of information so
that environmental performance can be compared from one year
to the next:
•one part publishing constant scope indicators;
•and another part publishing indicators per employee to correct
the changes in the Company’s activities. The sites’ workforce
includes Schneider Electric employees (fi xed-term, permanent
and work/study participants), temporary staff and on-site
subcontractors.
The table below indicates how the indicators correspond with the
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Comments on the indicators are included in the corresponding
chapters.
