As we approach the end of 2024, the Schneider Electric Foundation reflects on a remarkable year marked by its 25th anniversary celebrations and the Giving Season, a poignant reminder to give back and inspire positive change. The Foundation, under the aegis of Fondation de France, has been a beacon of corporate philanthropy for over two decades, empowering generations and fostering sustainable development.

The Schneider Electric Foundation's journey has been one of growth and adaptation, evolving from supporting underprivileged youth near Schneider's sites to a global network empowering generations worldwide. Over the past 25 years, the Foundation has trained over 1.5 million people, volunteered over 115,000 days, and supported 1,000 non-profit organizations, reflecting its commitment to bridging progress and sustainability.

One standout initiative, the 'Youth Innovation for a Sustainable Future' Call for Projects, co-led with Ashoka, received an astonishing response, with over 350 applications from youth-serving NGOs across 65 countries. This global campaign was amplified locally by Foundation Delegates, demonstrating the Foundation's ability to balance global initiatives with local adaptations.

The 'Tomorrow Rising' web series, now in its second season, continues to share powerful testimonies from young people in Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Indonesia, and France. This series serves as a testament to the Foundation's global impact, amplifying young voices and inspirations.

As the Schneider Electric Foundation looks ahead to the next 25 years, it remains steadfast in its mission to empower generations and drive sustainable development. The Foundation envisions a future where its efforts continue to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders and innovators towards a #JustTransition.

The Foundation's success can be attributed to its ability to balance local and global initiatives, fostering a culture of employee volunteering, and leveraging strategic partnerships. By combining these strengths, the Schneider Electric Foundation has created a significant impact worldwide, touching millions of lives and inspiring positive change.
