A living wage is a basic right.
At Schneider Electric, we believe that earning a decent wage is essential for all. We are committed to paying employees in the lower salary ranges at or above the living wage to meet their family’s basic needs, including food, housing, sanitation, education, healthcare, and discretionary income for local standards of living.
Schneider continues to partner with independent advisor Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) on this topic. Since this collaboration began, we've initiated a global process to analyze our wage levels and employment practices against local living wage standards set by BSR. At the end of 2019, we covered 63 countries reaching 99% of our footprint. This practice will continue in 2020.
