SDG 4 for Schneider

Research question: Is Schneider working towards delivering quality education and if so how are they doing this?

Schneider tries to do something to provide quality education in developing countries. Therefore, they trained over 120,000 people in over 20 different countries in engineering entrepreneurship since 2009. But they also have a special teaching program named “teaching over sea”: Employee-volunteers contribute to training missions during their holidays, demonstrating their personal engagement. They have carried out missions worldwide, offering basic training in electricity, sales negotiations, industrial automation, communication, marketing, and more. Franck Serpollet from Schneider Electric France had the amazing opportunity to contribute to the Nomade des Mers journey by helping to build low-tech applications on board.

So over the past four years Schneider carried out 1065 teacher missions in more than 70 countries. But this is not enough for them. Schneider’s goal is to provide solar energy in schools so by the year 2020 over 190000 students will have access to energy for educational tools.
