The French group Schneider Electric has once again been recognized in leading international ESG assessments, achieving top positions in the World Benchmarking Alliance rankings and high scores in the S&P Global evaluation, confirming the consistency of its sustainability strategy.

Multinational companies are facing increasingly strict scrutiny regarding their environmental, social, and governance impact, and recent results show Schneider Electric strengthening its position among global sustainability leaders.

In the World Benchmarking Alliance assessments, which include approximately 2,000 globally selected companies, Schneider Electric ranked 1st in the Social Benchmark and 3rd in the Gender Benchmark. Performance significantly exceeded the average in areas such as working conditions, organizational ethics, representation and equal opportunity, and policies to prevent workplace violence and harassment.

In the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, the company achieved a score of 85 out of 100, ranking second within its industry group. The CSA is widely used by investors to evaluate corporate sustainability risks and performance, and the score reflects strong performance in corporate governance, risk management, and climate strategy.

Recognition is further reinforced by inclusion in the Corporate Knights Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations index, which annually evaluates companies based on environmental, social, and governance performance. Repeated inclusion indicates long-term ESG performance stability.

Beyond operational indicators, the company was also recognized for transparency in sustainability communication, receiving the Best Communication of Sustainability distinction at the IR Society Awards. The distinction reflects how the company presents its ESG objectives and progress to investors and the public.

More recently, Schneider Electric was included in the Fortune World’s Most Admired Companies 2026 ranking, which evaluates corporate reputation based on the perceptions of executives, board members, and financial analysts, considering strategic execution and leadership quality.

Over the past five years, the company’s sustainability strategy has been guided by the Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program, which established measurable targets for emissions reduction, responsible resource use, ethics, and equal opportunity for the 2021–2025 period. This operational framework contributed to the company being named “Most Sustainable Company” twice by Corporate Knights and separately by Time and Statista.

Recent performance confirms that sustainability has become a central pillar of corporate competitiveness, influencing access to capital, reputation, and long-term resilience. In this context, Schneider Electric’s results provide a case study on how integrating ESG criteria can support economic performance and investor confidence.
