Advisory committee

Our Advisory Committee is the voice of Schneider Electric’s individual shareholders. The committee consists of up to eight independent volunteers appointed by Schneider Electric and meets three to four times per year to discuss various topics.

Their main focus is how the company’s strategy affects individual shareholders. The committee works on enhancing communication material and defining dedicated events for shareholders and also plays a role in the Annual Shareholders Meeting, as one of its members opens up the Q&A session with our Chairman and CEO.
