To mark International Women’s Day, Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is pleased to announce it has earned Silver-level Parity Certification by Women in Governance (WiG) for its commitments to gender parity in workplace practices.

With the theme of #EmbraceEquity leading the conversation for International Women’s Day, Schneider Electric is doing their part and committing to fostering a more equitable working environment for employees. Schneider is being recognized by WiG for their efforts to promote a progressively-equitable workplace through policies and practices to showcase their efforts to reach gender parity.

“We are pleased to be awarded with this certification to spotlight our commitment to equity in the workplace,” said Claire Guichard, Vice President, Human Resources, Schneider Electric. “We live in a wonderfully diverse world that brings new levels of innovation and creativity to workplaces. Our focused attention on gender parity and equitable practices ensures employees are uniquely valued and are part of an inclusive environment so they can develop and contribute their very best.”

Women in Governance Parity Certification: The Women in Governance Parity Certification involves a thorough review of an organization’s position on gender parity as it relates to the strategies, actions and results they yield to reach parity in the workplace. To be awarded with this certification, companies are reviewed by three primary drivers: governance and vision, collective enablers, and equity. These key areas focus on the multiple impacts of diversity in women’s career advancement, demonstrating an equitable representation of women at all levels of Schneider Electric, including promotion, recruitment and compensation.
