Organization
At Group level, the Environment Director determines the Group’s
environmental strategy covering subjects including the defi nition of
offers (ecoDesign), manufacturing and logistics, and the impacts
and benefi ts for customers, including marketing and communication
actions for customers on these matters. It has defi ned the Group’s
Resources, CO2, and Substances strategy.
The network of environmental manager consists of:
•for the design and development of new offers: environmental
managers in each Business Unit in charge of integrating
key environmental issues into the development of offers,
environmental managers in charge of customer focus, followed
by taking into account and communicating relevant environmental
characteristics, fi nally ecoDesign managers with expertise in
taking into account environmental aspects in product design;
•for the management of sites and the global supply chain:
environmental managers in each of the geographical areas, with
teams mobilized to coordinate groups of sites (clusters), and in
each of the industrial or logistical sites. The regional organization
within the Global Supply Chain is as follows: EMEA (Europe –
Middle East – Africa), North America, South America, India,
China, EAJP (South-East Asia – Japan – Pacifi c). A Safety and
Environment Offi cer is nominated in each of these regions. He/she
is responsible for implementing the Group’s policies in these areas
across all sites (including plants and distribution centers, integral
parts of the Global Supply Chain Department, and services sites,
namely national and regional headquarters, commercial entities
and R&D centers) within his/her geographical perimeter and for
reporting on performance as well as coordinating progress plans;
•for logistics: the Logistics Director and his/her teams, within the
Global Supply Chain Department, are in charge of reducing and
measuring CO2 emissions from freight at Group level;
•for countries and commercial entities: environmental managers
for each country, responsible for local reporting actions
where necessary, monitoring regulations, taxes and national
opportunities as applicable (e.g. national transcriptions of the
WEEE in relation to end-of-life product management, monitoring
of RoHS China, etc.), the proactive management of local
environmental initiatives, and relations with local stakeholders;
•for the other functions: environmental managers or, at least,
correspondents, in functions such as: Purchasing, Finance,
Insurance, Marketing, Industrialization, Security, Mergers and
Acquisitions, S ustainable D evelopment.
Various governance bodies enable these communities of experts
and leaders within the Environmental function to meet every
month or every quarter, depending on the topics and entities, to
ensure coherent application of Environment policies and standards
throughout the Group. To implement these policies, these leaders
coordinate networks of more than 400 managers responsible
for the environmental management of industrial, logistical
and administrative sites, including ecoDesign managers and
environmental correspondents in the various countries.
This network has access to a wide range of management and
experience sharing resources including directives, application
guides, a dedicated intranet site and databases.
To educate all employees on environmental issues, and to give them
the necessary skills, e-learning modules have been developed,
notably regarding the eco-responsible management of energy and
the environment, the circular economy, CO2 and ecoDesign. These
modules complement the existing technical training employees
receive. Additionally, an Environment Intranet site is accessible
by all employees and expanded continuously to inform everyone
at all levels about our ongoing programs, best practices, results,
goals and upcoming deadlines. In June2015, Schneider Electric
organized its annual ‘Global Environment Day’ event involving tens
of thousands of Group employees across hundreds of sites, inviting
them to celebrate and demonstrate innovations in the areas of CO2
and the circular economy, for innovations both internal to the Group
and in the areas surrounding the sites in association with the local
community.
