Schneider Electric Canada Named One of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2025

May 19, 2025

Schneider Electric Canada has been recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2025 by Mediacorp Canada Inc. as part of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, a prestigious honour celebrating organizations that lead the country in creating a culture of environmental sustainability. This recognition highlights Schneider Electric’s long-standing commitment to advancing climate action, driving clean energy innovation, and fostering a workplace that prioritizes environmental responsibility at every level.

“At Schneider Electric, sustainability is not a side project—it’s at the core of who we are,” said Emily Heitman, president at Schneider Electric Canada. “We’re proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers. This honour reflects the passion of our people and the bold steps we’re taking together to help Canada transition to a more resilient, low-carbon economy.”

Canada’s Greenest Employers evaluates each employer based on the unique environmental initiatives and programs they have developed, the environmental footprint of their operations, the degree to which employees are engaged in these initiatives, and how these efforts have become part of their public identity.

Some accomplishments that earned Schneider Electric Canada recognition as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers include:

·       The evolution of early green teams into the Site Sustainability Ambassador Program, engaging employees across major locations in Canada.

·       Operation of three “zero CO₂” sites since 2022, collectively preventing approximately 77 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.

·       Utilization of Schneider Electric technologies, such as HVAC controls, building automation systems, and energy monitoring software, to optimize energy use at its sites across Canada.

“Schneider Electric Canada has consistently demonstrated that sustainability and innovation go hand-in-hand,” said Richard Yerema, executive editor of Canada’s Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc. “Their initiatives reflect a holistic, actionable approach to environmental responsibility, backed by clear leadership commitment and employee engagement.”

In addition to being recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers this year, Schneider Electric Canada has also been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers. These honours reflect the company’s strong commitment to sustainability, employee development and creating an exceptional workplace.
