METHODOLOGY AND AUDIT OFINDICATORS
The indicator measured the share of sales made with a Green
Premium offer from sales fi gures for the year n-1. All Activities are
included in the program, except CST. The EMEA Power offers
are exempt. For Infrastructure, the indicator does not include the
RoHS criterion.
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
10% energy savings
The goal is to reduce energy consumption each year
(2012-2013-2014) by 3.3%, using Schneider Electric solutions.
The program is available for all Schneider Electric sites. The internal
customer is Global Supply Chain Management. The Energy
Management Services teams are the internal provider.
In 2012, the program addresses Schneider Electric’s 100 most
energy intensive sites (based on energy consumption in 2011).
By 2014, it will include all sites larger than 5,000 m². In case of
acquisition, the sites concerned will be included in the program the
following year.
The “energy savings” refer to standardized data; a model for each
site is built to take into account climatic variations and changes in
production.
All energies (gas, electricity, oil, etc.) are taken into account and
converted into kWh.
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
+7points of growth with the “EcoXperts” with
respect to Group growth
The objective is, through “EcoXperts” partners selected by
Schneider Electric, to develop energy effi ciency and renewable
energy activities suitable for small and medium-sized buildings.
Schneider Electric aims to reach seven points of growth with the
EcoXperts activities, in excess of the Group’s growth, measured
quarterly year-to-date.
The program provides end users access to:
•a network of local partners accredited by Schneider Electric;
•energy effi ciency and renewable energy solutions based on
tested, validated and documented architectures;
•a volume of sales supported by the experience of a specialist in
energy management.
The indicator incorporates country results after six months in the
EcoXperts program (annually from January2012).
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
1million households at the Base of the Pyramid
connected
The indicator accounts for all sales of products and solutions that
provide access to energy for people at the Base of the Pyramid that
were developed within the BipBop program:
•products: lamps (In-Diya) and lighting products, power control
systems, individual solar systems, inverters for CFL lamps,
meters (BEC23 range);
•solutions: battery charging stations, solar water pumping
systems, micro-solar power stations for generation off-grid
electricity (Villasol, VillaSmart and DC Grid).
The Base of the Pyramid is the socio-economic segment of
the world population with the lowest incomes. This population
is defi ned in the indicator from a geographic perspective and
business model perspective: the population living in non-OECD
countries; accessing products and solutions through non-traditional
distribution channels, appropriate marketing or a project approach
developed by dedicated sales forces.
For products, the rule of one product per household was
established. For solutions, the number of households is determined
from the project specifi cation documents.
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
90% of our recommended suppliers comply with
ISO26000
The objective is to motivate “recommended” Group suppliers to
roll out and monitor progress plans conforming to ISO26000. An
assessment of recommended suppliers is carried out externally.
Suppliers whose assessments are too low are excluded from the
indicator. All assessments are monitored by Business Review
with the Schneider Electric buyers, with a view to continuous
improvement according to the guidelines of ISO26000.
The total number of recommended suppliers to take into account
for the year is fi xed at the beginning of the year. The number of
recommended suppliers evaluated during the year was stopped
at January 31 n+1 in order to take into account the assessments at
December31 of the previous year.
The sustainable development goals have become one of the seven
pillars used to measure supplier performance since 2011; this
has the particular advantage of allowing the highest-performing
suppliers to become a ’recommended’, or for the best suppliers,
’preferred’ Group supplier.
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
Three major ethical stock market indices choose
Schneider Electric
The indicator measures the presence of Schneider Electric in the
following three ethical stock market indices:
•the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World;
•the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Europe;
•the Advanced Sustainable Performance Index (ASPI) Eurozone.
This indicator was audited by Ernst&Young.
300 sites recognized as “Great place to work -
Coolsite”
Schneider Electric wants to create motivating work environments
for its employees, environments that are not only safe and effective,
but also that are based on refl ection on the values of Schneider
Electric.
The “A great place to work” of the Connect program business
defi nes the criteria for “Cool Sites”:
•as in a village, we gather around activities and events to celebrate
and interact beyond simple business;
•develop services relating to everyday life for our employees;
•test the solutions and products we sell in order to better
understand what we are all working towards.
This indicator has been delayed and will roll out in2013.
