Schneider Electric Showcases the Impact of its Sustainability Commitment Through Strong Q3 Results

Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announces its non-financial results for the third quarter of 2025, confirming its progress toward completing the Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) 2021–2025 program. With one quarter remaining, the company reports a score of 8.52 out of 10, confirming strong alignment with its year-end target of 8.80.

 

Schneider Electric

 

One of the key milestones this quarter is the early completion of the Zero Carbon Project, which reached a 53% average reduction in CO₂ emissions across top suppliers’ operations, surpassing the 2025 ambition ahead of schedule. This initiative supports over 1,000 suppliers through tailored decarbonization roadmaps, technical training, and renewable energy guidance.

Progress continues across other core SSI indicators:

  • Decarbonization: Schneider Electric has helped customers save and avoid 792 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions through its products and solutions since 2018, nearing its 2025 ambition of 800Mt. During Climate Week NYC 2025, the company announced the expansion of its Scope 3 decarbonization efforts, including enhanced supplier engagement and new industry collaborations. These initiatives aim to accelerate emissions reductions across the value chain, with a focus on digital tools, renewable energy sourcing, and circularity.

In parallel, Schneider Electric’s AirSeT switchgear was recognized by the World Economic Forum for Excellence in Sustainable Design. This innovation replaces SF₆ with pure air and vacuum technology, eliminating a potent greenhouse gas and enabling smarter, safer grids.

  • Access to Energy: Over 60 million people have gained access to green electricity through Schneider Electric’s programs since 2009, exceeding the 2025 target. This impact is supported by distributed energy solutions such as microgrids, which empower communities through local ownership and inclusive governance. The Schneider Electric™ Sustainability Research Institute’s recent paper, Energy Poverty: And the many ways that safe, affordable, sufficient, and sustainable energy for all empowers, explores how energy democracy can drive systemic change.

 

“Schneider Electric has been named the world’s most sustainable company three times this year, most recently by Sustainability Magazine. These recognitions are a reflection of the collective progress we’re seeing across industries.” said Esther Finidori, Chief Sustainability Officer. “What gives me confidence is the actions we see every day. Organizations are cutting emissions, technology is ready and being deployed at scale, and people are driving change with purpose. Sustainability is becoming the core of how we operate, innovate, and collaborate. That’s where real transformation happens.”

Commenting on the role of Fins Kitesurfing Center, Mr. Sherif Soliman added: “Kai Sokhna’s location is one of the best in Egypt for kitesurfing, making it an ideal destination for both locals and international visitors. The addition of hospitality and serviced residences within Can Limon enhances Fins’ competitive edge by attracting a broader audience, while maintaining our most important advantage — strategic proximity to Cairo — which makes it a year-round sports destination.”

 

Today, Kai Sokhna cements Misr Italia Properties’ position as a pioneering developer that doesn’t just build communities but creates destinations aligned with Egypt’s national vision for Red Sea development. Through the architectural excellence of Alchemy, the quality commitment of ECB, the premium hospitality of TLT Concepts, and the specialized water sports offerings of Fins, the project stands as a unique model of international standards brought to life on Egyptian soil.

Public Prosecution and Orange Egypt Introduce a Groundbreaking Digital Platform – Smart Government Services Now Available via My Orange App

Orange Egypt announced the launch of a new phase in its strategic partnership with the Egyptian Public Prosecution, introducing an integrated digital platform that brings government and legal services directly to citizens’ hands through My Orange mobile application.

 

Orange Egypt

This milestone marks a significant leap in Egypt’s digital transformation journey, following the successful completion of the Public Prosecution’s financial inclusion phase. The new initiative aims to deliver a comprehensive range of smart legal and governmental services—covering traffic, family, and criminal prosecutions—with secure, fast, and convenient digital access for all Orange customers across Egypt.

Through this collaboration, users can now submit and follow up on prosecution requests digitally, pay related fees instantly via Orange Cash Wallet, and complete transactions without the need to visit any government offices. The initiative fully aligns with the Egyptian state’s vision for a connected and inclusive digital government, enhancing accessibility and efficiency in public services.

 

Accessing these services is simple and user-friendly: customers can navigate to the Public Prosecution Requests icon on the main page of My Orange app, which automatically links the user to Orange Cash Wallet for seamless payment integration. From there, they can instantly benefit from a wide suite of legal services offered by the Public Prosecution.

 

The Traffic Prosecution services allow users to inquire about and pay traffic violations, submit appeals, and make immediate reconciliations, whether for themselves or others. Family Prosecution services include case status

 

inquiries, inheritance declarations, official judgments, and certified extracts on personal and financial matters. Meanwhile, Criminal Prosecution services allow authorized users to request updates on case status, obtain certified copies of rulings, and receive official documents electronically.

Moreover, customers can track their requests in real time through the My Orange app, receiving live updates at every stage until their requests are fulfilled and documents are delivered to their doorstep. The process ensures full data accuracy, document security, and seamless coordination between Orange’s digital systems and those of the Public Prosecution.

Commenting on the new milestone, Hesham Mahran, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Orange Egypt, stated: “We are proud to partner with the Egyptian Public Prosecution in this pioneering initiative, which represents a model of successful collaboration between government institutions and the private sector to serve citizens more effectively. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing Egypt’s digital transformation agenda.”

He added: “At Orange Egypt, we are moving beyond financial inclusion to empower citizens directly through integrated digital solutions that simplify access to vital public and legal services anytime, anywhere. Our investment in innovation, technology, and infrastructure reinforces our role as a key enabler of the digital Egypt vision.”

Orange Egypt reaffirmed that this initiative is part of its broader strategy to enhance citizens’ access to digital public services with the highest standards of security, speed, and reliability. The company continues to support Egypt’s national efforts to build a fully integrated digital society that improves the quality of life for all citizens and strengthens the efficiency of public sector services.
