Controversy[modifier | modifier le code]

Despite its commitment to social and environmental responsibility, Schneider Electric is involved in TotalEnergies' East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project. EACOP faces global criticism for massive human rights violations[1],[2], environmental risks[3], and high CO2 emissions[4]. Schneider Electric justifies its involvement by claiming to reduce the project's carbon footprint, but this is minimal, accounting for only 2% of total emissions. The project, flagged by NGOs and aligned with TotalEnergies' extensive fossil fuel endeavors, contradicts recommendations from the International Energy Agency (IEA)[5] and conclusions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)[6] to stay below 1.5°C. This involvement raises questions about Schneider's alignment with ethical and environmental standards.
