Schneider Electric SE operates worldwide and is best known as an energy management company. Based in France, it not only serves the electric generation business but also addresses commercial and industrial needs — everything from real-time automation to digital software and services. Founded in 1836, it has become a trendsetter concerning sustainability issues.
