Square D Diversity Vision

Schneider Electric is a world class company competing and succeeding globally. To further strengthen this leadership position, our organization must mirror today's marketplace where total customer satisfaction is necessary for success. Our people and our network of suppliers and distributors should reflect the diversity of a marketplace that knows no geographic boundaries.

The demographics of the US are rapidly changing. Minority populations are growing at an increasing rate, doubling by the year 2010. As a result, our customers are asking us to have business diversity processes to support their efforts in servicing those markets. We are a global organization committed to creating long-term relationships with diverse business partners in the best interest of our customers.

Schneider Electric encourages women and minority owned suppliers and distributors to leverage their unique resources and strengths. Our organization is also committed to employing a diverse workforce. We believe that employee differences can help us gain new perspectives on the business equation. This approach allows us to make better decisions, provide better service and more focused customer orientation, and, as a result, identify new business opportunities.

Encouraging and supporting diversity teaches us to better understand each other as well as our customers, making us stronger for the future.
