2 Sustainable development Committed to and on behalf of employees

First, on accelerating the development of our high potential leaders by designing and delivering a new, cohesive set of leadership programs called ‘Transforming Schneider Leadership’. These programs had a key theme of ‘Purposeful leadership for a Digital World’. In 2017 more than 600 leaders – identified via the annual Talent Management process – at multiple leadership levels attended these programs to fast track their capability in addressing personal leadership, team, organizational and strategic leadership. These topics were approached through the lens of digital disruption, driving innovation and leading new business models. Leaders demonstrated a return on their learning investment through an individual ‘action lab’ which addressed a specific and actionable work project. The programs also introduced for the first time a significant digital learning component allowing for a more efficient and more scalable learning impact. Second, the Leadership Academy addressed core feedback and coaching for performance skills via the ‘Leader Skills Series’ to build the foundational skills of driving better performance conversations for all people leaders. In 2017 6,000 leaders across the company experienced these sessions which were delivered either virtually or with ‘bite size’ classroom sessions ad supported by a change campaign. The series has raised visibility and understanding of the importance of high quality feedback and effective coaching in achieving better team engagement and results. Third, the Academy began to provide high quality digital learning for senior leaders to support personalized learning by developing and piloting a new digital platform called ‘License to Lead’. The objectives of the pilot involving 120 leaders were to experiment with helping leaders learn ‘on the go’ with a mobile device ready app and to use it to deliver leadership digital learning and Schneider Electric specific business knowledge in short, high quality micro-learnings. Take-up was very high with an 86% ‘engagement score’, thousands of modules completed and more than 600 learning ‘bites’ created by users themselves and shared socially with each other via the app. This initiative will be deployed to the top 1,000 leaders in 2018 as a direct outcome of the strong results and feedback from pilot learners. Global tools and enablers To support the rapid changes in the company, Schneider Electric has implemented an open learning ecosystem comprised of Learning Experience, Learning Management System and innovative content. All those platforms are interconnected to provide a relevant, intuitive and effective one-stop shop experience powered by digital. My LearningLink At the center of this ecosystem is My LearningLink, Schneider Electric’s global learning platform which integrates e-learning, webinars, social learning, classroom learning, assessments and full certification paths. It was progressively deployed in all countries in 2013 and took off in 2014. Academies and country-level courses are

E more than 20,000 modules of learning content are available in up to 13 languages; E 140,000 employees have access to the system; E 92% of employees followed at least one day’s training (instructor- led training and digital learning) in 2017. No managerial approval is required for employees to register for online courses; employees are actively encouraged to take the responsibility for developing their skills and competencies. This platform is instrumental in developing the skills of the workforce at all levels, supporting business strategies by targeted learning activities as well as enabling them to become a stronger actor in their own development. It is also instrumental in reaching the Group’s objective of one day of training per employee per year, which is part of the Planet & Society Barometer. My LearningLink is also used to deliver online training programs to Schneider Electric customers. In 2015, the Partner Relationship Management (PRM) program was deployed in 10 countries, including a training module that provides our partners with dedicated learning paths based on their area of expertise. In 2017, it has reached 650,000 customers in 108 countries. Schneider IQ Based on a French start-up called Coorp Academy, leader in corporate Massive On-line Open courses, Schneider IQ provides courses on key trends of the industry as well as transverse strategic topics. All the courses are searchable and tracked in My LearningLink. This platform has a unique approached of flipped learning, pushing questions first, and guiding learners through it so that they can progress very quickly if they know the subject matter, and be guided by videos or coaches if they need help. More than 40,000 unique users took courses on Schneider IQ in 2017, with top courses being our compliance & ethics course as well as courses on the digital economy and design thinking. EdCast: the Netflix of Learning In 2017, we piloted a new way of learning with a platform called EdCast. Based on aggregated search and curation, it enables the academies and the learners themselves to easily connect several sources of content, bundle them in Pathways, and curate them for a specific group. All this on an open and mobile-first app and desktop modality. We strongly believe that the success of learning is in its capacity to provide the right knowledge at the right time, and EdCast really pushes this approach to a new level. Amongst other pilots, we deployed EdCast for a leadership program geared to teach top leaders the basics of Schneider Electric business and leadership acumen. From September to December, they had access to content carefully designed and curated with notifications and push mail to alert them on the upcoming topics as well as the leaders board to gamify the approach. The feedback was very positive with a 4.3/5 rating by participant and 60% saying it makes them more effective in their daily job. We are extending the use of EdCast to all top leaders in 2018 as well as other key user groups like blue collars and sales.
