Cumulative customer carbon reduction and avoidance of 913 million tons, Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced by 82% compared to 2017

Schneider Electric has disclosed its first-half 2026 implementation status of the sustainability roadmap 'Impact 2030'. The results include not only the company's carbon emission reductions but also decarbonization support outcomes across customers and supply chain.

Schneider Electric announced the first-half results of 'Impact 2030' on the 27th.

This roadmap, which targets a full score of 10 points by 2030, achieved 3.69 points within six months of launch and is progressing toward the annual target of 4.20 points.

Impact 2030 is structured around four pillars: △leading global energy electrification △industrial innovation △expanding human potential △and strengthening community capacity.

In terms of the company's carbon emissions, Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the first half of 2026 were reduced by 82% compared to 2017, and Scope 3 emissions decreased by 12% compared to 2021.

In terms of customer support results, energy reduced and electrified through solutions reached a total of 129.5 million MWh.

In the first half alone, the company reduced or avoided more than 50 million tons of carbon emissions, with a cumulative figure of 913 million tons recorded since 2018.

Additionally, 29% of the company's software portfolio has applied energy and carbon insight capabilities.

On the product side, 27% of key product categories at the design stage met the 'Future-designed' approach, which applies circular economy and environmental excellence criteria.

The supply chain decarbonization program 'Zero Carbon Pathway' expanded its scope to 1,500 suppliers and added Scope 3 emissions and product carbon footprint (PCF) measurement as new requirements.

In the second quarter, 15 suppliers met the criteria, and supply chain decarbonization capabilities were supported through over 200 technical sessions and the implementation of AI-based digital tools.

In the human capacity and community sectors, 16% of skilled employees participated in capability development activities, and related programs were selected as the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 'Future of Inclusion Lighthouse'.

Since 2009, the company has supported cumulative electricity access for 67 million people and provided electrification and sustainability education to 1.37 million young people.

Five regional business locations met the criteria of the multi-criteria evaluation system 'Impact Workplaces'.

Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Esther Finidori stated, "We are making encouraging progress in converting our goals into concrete actions," and added, "We will further strengthen the integration of sustainability throughout our business."
