Environment in focus
Energetic and environmental responsibility lies at the core of Schneider Electric culture
and strategy. We strive to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their
entire life-cycle, particularly through eco-design and eco-production.
Eco-design
The European Union enacted an Energy using
Products (EuP) framework directive in 2005
(directive on the eco-design of products) which
seeks to promote eco-design approaches in
priority sectors, or even to specify the aims of
impacts for some products.
Although Schneider Electric’s supply is outside
of the EuP target, it generalises the eco-design
approach to all its developmental activities and
undertakes to communicate the environmental
features of its products through Product Environ-
mental Profiles (PEPs)
Product Environmental Profile
For each product Schneider Electric undertakes
to publish a Product Environmental Profile (PEP).
It provides customers with information on their
environmental performances during their life cycle
as well as the best treatment solutions at the
end of their life. To ensure transparency and the
validity of the data, it complies with ISO 14025
in an inter-professional programme which sets
shared calculation and drafting rules for publish-
ing the environmental impacts of products.
Actassi is compliant
with RoHS, the REACH
European directives and
PEP Eco passport.

Actassi CL-MX cables
is one example of Eco-
design. Halogen-free,
flame or fire retardant.
In case of fire, the result
of using Actassi CL-MX
is the reduction of the
emissions of opaque
smoke and acid gases.
Thus, it helps reducing
damages to equipment
and allows people to
escape from the building
more easily.
