Schneider, Q2 Assessment: 'Growing Rapidly'
Published2017.08.07 12:13Employee Engagement Index Maintained at Target Level of 64%
Sustainable development is measured quarterly using 16 indices of the Planet & Society barometer.
In late June 2017, Schneider Electric achieved a total of 8.91 points, exceeding the barometer target of 8.25 points.
The evaluation was classified into Planet, Profit, and People. In each category, achievements were made, including a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions during transportation, 100% of R&D products being designed using the Schneider ecoDesign Way, 75% of product revenue generated through the Green Premium eco-friendly label, 100% of recommended suppliers adopting ISO 26000 guidelines, and recording a 64% employee engagement index, as well as carrying out 1,300 missions through the Schneider Electric Teachers NGO.
Gilles Vermot Desroches, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Schneider Electric, stated, "Following a Planet & Society barometer score of 8.91 in the second quarter of 2017, we are growing rapidly toward our new target of 9 points for the 2015–2017 period. We take great pride in the fact that approximately 75% of Schneider Electric's revenue is generated through eco-friendly premium-label products, and this quarter, the new *REACH list, which was released in July, was reflected in the index." "All of Schneider's sustainability teams are dedicated to establishing, verifying, and testing the next-generation barometer for 2018–2020, and the next-generation barometer is scheduled to be unveiled in February 2018," they stated.
REACH is a regulation enacted in the European Union to continuously remove high-risk chemicals and is updated every six months. Non-financial results for the second quarter of 2017 are available on the Schneider Electric website ( www.schneider-electric.com/sri ).

[Talking about Industrial IoT ②] Schneider: "Augmented reality that identifies defects by simply holding it up is the evolution of IIoT."
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is said to be an opportunity to achieve manufacturing innovation. Opportunity belongs to those who are prepared, yet there are still those who view it with suspicion rather than seizing it. We asked Jung Seong-yeop, Team Leader of the Automation Business Division at Schneider Electric (hereafter: Jung), and Noh Geun-bae, Team Leader of Software Channel Business (hereafter: Noh). Kim: You mention innovation, but how does adopting 'Industrial IoT' improve things? Jung: In Korea, people tend to just do what the government or their superiors tell them to do, so this sense of thirst continues to persist. And people mainly talk about revolution, but Schneider calls it evolution. It's not that something entirely new is created, but rather that productivity increases, electricity costs decrease, data becomes easier to view, downtime is reduced, and more aspects become automated.
