In North America, Schneider Electric has prioritized its dedication to recognizing women and promoting inclusivity through commitments to pay equity, female representation in leadership and leadership advocacy. Partnerships with diversity organizations such as Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and Women in Technology International (WITI), have resulted in an increase in the representation of women in their workforce. "Our diversity and inclusion strategy places key issues such as gender equality at the top of our agenda, making diversity a key business strategy - not a human resources focus," said Annette Clayton, President and CEO, North America Operations and Chief Supply Chain Officer, Schneider Electric. "We will continue to accelerate our efforts along the path to gender parity in the workplace by working in partnership with initiatives like the UN HeForShe program and living the values set forth in the Women's Empowerment Principles from UN Women and the UN Global Compact."
