Our Commitment to Reconciliation
Our vision for Reconciliation
Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia where unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians is embraced and celebrated. A nation where equality is not only expected, but also the norm. Where the contributions and stories of all people are celebrated, our shared history is acknowledged and truthfully told, and the relationships between people make everyone’s lives richer and more rewarding. Where the negative experiences of race relations are recognised, acknowledged, sincerely regretted, and vowed never to be repeated.
Our vision as a company is that we will be able to look back on our actions proudly, having played our part fully in helping to achieve this outcome. That we can contribute to a world in which access to energy is fair and equitable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and that we are part of an industry that welcomes and values the contribution and knowledge brought by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and specialists.

In December 2019, Schneider Electric launched its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Since then, this living, strategic document has guided our contribution as a company to reconciliation between First Nations People and other Australians. In June 2024, 5 years into our Reconciliation journey, we are delighted to present our semi-annual report on our progress to deliver actions under our 2024-2026, Innovate RAP. This is our third RAP, (our second Innovate RAP). We have chosen to continue at the Innovate stage, as we believe there is more work that we want to get right at this level before moving to a Stretch RAP.
It is a privilege to see the organisation rise to the challenge, working together to deliver on our public commitments to First Nations people. A critical element of our RAP is the vision to see an inclusive Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are connected and empowered to thrive. As you read through our actions you will see how they support this important and consistent vision for Schneider Electric and reconciliation. We are grateful to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been so generous with their wisdom and advice throughout this continuous journey of understanding and progress, and we’d like to thank again all who have been involved with progressing our RAP this year – both internally and externally to Schneider.
Our latest progress report showcases our achievements, celebrations, challenges, and the collaborative efforts that have shaped our RAP implementation to date. We invite you to join us in reflecting on our progress and charting the course ahead.
