MACo’s Corporate Partner, Schneider Electric, is already celebrating several milestones at the start of 2025. TIME magazine has named them the World’s Most Sustainable Company for 2024, while Corporate Knights has dubbed them the 2025 World’s Most Sustainable Corporation

Operating as an Impact Company, this is truly a remarkable achievement as it marks the second time we have topped the Global 100 list—a first for any corporation. For 14 consecutive years, we’ve been included in the Global 100, achieving 7 top 10 rankings—a testament to our dedication to being a true Impact Company for our entire ecosystem – shared Chris Dellinger, Account Executive, Sustainability Business

Corporate Knights’ Global 100 ranking of the world’s most sustainable firms, now in its 21st year, shows that the top firms continue to increase their investment in the green transition. Even with higher interest rates in recent years, leading corporations have expanded their sustainable investments, which has resulted in a growing share of income being derived from sustainable revenue sources.

From the Corporate Knights’ article: 

French-based Schneider Electric SE climbed to the top of the 2025 Global 100, up from seventh place last year, thanks to a high level of sustainable investment and revenue, its leading performance on gender diversity, and the low carbon intensity of its production. Like the majority of companies on the Global 100, Schneider isn’t a consumer-facing household name; rather, it provides the nuts, bolts and technology for the green transition, including building energy controls, off-grid solar and EV charging and grid automation (read our top company profile). It also happened to rake in record-breaking revenues in 2024, built on continued demand for energy management.

TIME and data firm Statista created a rigorous methodology for measuring the world’s most sustainable companies in 2024. Schneider Electric’s nod came from how it helps its clients become net zero (Climate Solutions Now Act).

From the TIME article: 

Schneider Electric, for instance, which is based in France and tops the list, creates software and services for energy management. It has not only set ambitious targets to reduce its own emissions—carbon neutral by 2025—but also helps its customers reduce emissions and become more energy efficient through its Sustainability Business. It has its own sustainability impact program to track its performance, and has also reduced emissions across its supply chain. Schneider has received a climate score of “A” from the CDP for 12 years in a row. “We’ve positioned the company to be an impact company,” CEO Peter W. Herweck said on a recent earnings call.
