Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been named the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation for 2025 by Corporate Knights, and is the only company to rank first in the Global 100 twice, Invest-Gate reports.

Previously, Schneider Electric topped this annual list of the most sustainable publicly listed companies, generating annual revenues of over $1 bn in 2021. This unique achievement underscores Schneider’s long-standing commitment and holistic approach to delivering the best possible environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

“For many years, sustainability has been at the heart of what Schneider Electric does. For an IMPACT company, it’s more than just a corporate goal; it’s the driving force that shapes our business decisions and inspires our employees,” said Olivier Blum, Schneider Electric’s Chief Executive Officer. “This second title as the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation from Corporate Knights, alongside other key ESG recognitions, is a testament to the valuable, long-term positive impact we have.”

This year, Schneider Electric’s number one position reflects the company’s leadership in sustainable development practices, such as gender diversity among its executives and board directors, as well as its innovative solutions for enhancing energy efficiency, electrification, and decarbonization.

Schneider also received strong scores for its efforts to decouple energy consumption and carbon emissions from business growth, along with significant investments in sustainable research and development. Corporate Knights also highlighted the connection between executive pay incentives and Schneider Electric’s sustainability performance and ESG ratings.

“Schneider Electric’s position at the top of the Global 100 index is remarkable. No other company has accomplished this twice,” said Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights’ CEO. “This success stems from Schneider’s broad impact that extends beyond its own sustainability efforts. Schneider provides the technology to enhance energy efficiency, support decarbonization, and assist other companies in their sustainable transitions.”

Compiled by the Canadian media and research company Corporate Knights, the annual Global 100 index is based on publicly disclosed quantitative data related to resources, employees, suppliers, sustainable revenues, and investments. The Global 100 methodology uses fixed and variable key performance indicators to rank companies among their peers. Schneider Electric has been part of the Global 100 every year for the past 14 years and has ranked in the top 10 seven times—a record for its electrical equipment manufacturing peer group.

Being awarded this title in both 2021 and 2025 coincides with the beginning and end of the five-year period of the latest Schneider Sustainability Impact program. This program measures the company’s progress across a range of transformative ESG targets set for the end of 2025 and helps maintain an unwavering focus on achieving both its global and local ambitions.
