About us
Our purpose is to create Impact by empowering all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all.
At Schneider, we call this Life Is On.
We’re on a mission to be the chosen digital partner for sustainability and efficiency across industries. We’re driving digital transformation to create a more resilient, more sustainable world.
And we’re doing it through world-leading energy technologies, real time automation, and software and services that make homes, buildings, data centers, industries, and infrastructure more electric and more digital. We welcome open standards and partnerships that share our purpose, and inclusive, empowered values.
The time is now to take action — action toward a more sustainable, more resilient future. In the United States, we’ve been leading the way in innovation for more than a century — and we’re not slowing down. The moment to make a sustainable impact is now.
On September 14, we announced the official opening of our new “engineer-to-order” smart manufacturing facility in El Paso, TX. This facility is the newest addition to our El Paso footprint, making the region home to our largest manufacturing hub in the United States. We’re honored to be able to not only support El Paso’s community with the creation of over 400 new jobs, but enhance the local economy.
