Barometer Planet & Society

Schneider Electric created the Planet and Society Barometer in 2005 to measure its corporate social responsibility performance. With criteria covering people, community, environment and corporate governance issues, the Barometer expresses our commitment to promoting sustainable development to both internal and external audiences.

The Barometer tracks ten indicators on a quarterly basis. Our overall rating as of January 1, 2005 was 3.65 out of 10.

Our target for 2008 is 8 out of 10.The Barometer serves three purposes:

- It provides a resource for training and raising awarness about sustainable development,
- It defines strategic avenues for improvement,
- It informs stakeholders of our results and performance.
