                                          Our millennium’s challenge will be to promote access to energy for all while protecting the environment.
                                           
                                           

                                          Access to energy is an integral part of Schneider Electric’s corporate social responsibility. Our goal is to promote sustainable energy supply and use for the greater good of all. Transmitting knowledge and training young people are the two main avenues for achieving this goal.

                                           
                                           
                                           
                                           
                                           

                                          October 2008: Schneider Electric sponsor of the first zero emission research station

                                           
                                          Schneider Electric provides energy management for the first zero emission polar station, Princess Elisabeth Antarctica.
                                          The extreme conditions in which the on-board technologies must operate demonstrate the quality and reliability of Schneider Electric products and solutions.
                                          Schneider Electric's involvement in this project, designed, built and financed by the International Polar Foundation and its partners, demonstrates the Group's commitment for environment and the absolute necessity to reduce CO2 emissions.
