Description
1) Objective
Schneider Electric Foundation was created by the French company Schneider Electric in 1998. The Foundation aims to contribute to the development of people and societies through education, innovation, awareness-raising and vocational training related to energy. In a context of social and environmental transitions, all over the world, Schneider Electric philanthropic investment gives all young people the means to build solutions for a better life, by catalyzing local initiatives combining technology, social innovation and entrepreneurship. It funds the following projects:
- Professional training in the energy sector – Providing the tools for lasting achievements: The key challenge of training in energy sector is to provide disadvantaged people with the knowledge and skills to be able to carry out a trade in a safe and responsible way, providing them and their families with the means of satisfactory subsistence. It will also give them the ability, should they wish, to sell and maintain energy access offerings and to create their own small business in time.
- Social innovation – Identifying the faintest signals and contributing to the solutions of tomorrow: As today’s world undergoes profound transformation, with disruption around every corner, the Schneider Electric Foundation has chosen to make technological, social and entrepreneurial innovation a core priority.
The Foundation supports and promotes:
- Ambitious vocational training programs in the electricity sector for underpriviledged communities, providing access to energy in emerging countries
- Innovative projects led by youth which design, develop, deploy efficient solutions to face climate change;
more broadly, forward-looking and inclusive initiatives, raising awareness about the challenges of climate change.
