#28 – Schneider Electric: Make The Most Out Of Our Energy

“Make the most of our energy.”

This is the purpose statement of Schneider Electric, the French multinational headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, with industrial roots dating back to 1836.

What began as an iron and steel foundry is now a global leader in energy management and digital automation.

Schneider Electric has redefined what it means to be a purpose-driven industrial company in the 21st century.

As of FY2024, the company reported €38.15 billion in revenue, operates in over 100 countries, and employs around 153,000 people worldwide.

It is listed on the Euronext Exchange and ranks among the Fortune Global 500 and EURO STOXX 50.

Its purpose is more than a statement — it’s a strategic axis.

Over 70% of Schneider’s revenue now comes from solutions that help customers reduce their carbon emissions.

The company is also developing sustainable data center architectures with NVIDIA, reducing cooling energy use by up to 20%.

By 2025, Schneider projects an EBITA margin of up to 19.5%, outperforming analyst expectations.

Schneider Electric shows that a clear purpose can reshape entire sectors — making decarbonization a source of both impact and growth.
