Our aim is to strike the perfect balance between global reach and local strength, ensuring our commitment to providing meaningful, sustainable and community-centric lighting solutions.
Caring for customers
We listen to our customers, anticipate their needs and put their challenges first. We are all accountable and aligned to deliver an extraordinary customer experience. We build long term relationships with our customers and never let them down.
Respect
We are mindful of our role and impact on our colleagues, customers, partners, citizens, communities and the planet. Schréder employees demonstrate respect in their interactions by valuing difference, being inclusive, and embracing diversity.
Entrepreneurship
We are passionate about developing new business opportunities. We think and act like owners. We are persistent, embrace challenges, accept and manage the risk. We celebrate success and learn from failure.
Innovation
Is at the heart of our mindset. Standing still is sliding backwards. We come up with new ideas and original, creative thinking for our products, services, business models and operations. We love to explore off the beaten tracks.
Working together
We are all aligned to achieve the same purpose: we deliver on our promises together! We support each other to overcome challenges, we listen and understand the others’ perspective to come up with the best solution.

Woven into our DNA

Our people have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects that redefine how communities live, work and move. From designing smart lighting systems to developing innovative services that enhance sustainability and efficiency, you can be part of initiatives that have a real local and global impact. At Schréder, your ideas matter, and your work helps shape the future of our company and the cities we light.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
We are lucky to have employees from many different cultures and diverse backgrounds in our companies worldwide, and we value the experiences and perspectives they bring to our workplaces all year long.
Our DEI Manifesto focuses on seven key pillars to ensure that all Schréder employees are committed to this journey to promote and strengthen DEI practices.
Deeper Connections
At Schréder, we encourage open communication, provide spaces for collaboration, and emphasise appreciation. We actively nurture an environment where colleagues form meaningful connections, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose within our workforce.
Personal Growth
At Schréder, we believe in continuous learning and growth. As our world evolves, so do the skills needed to thrive.
We provide learning and development opportunities for everyone, including dedicated programmes for leadership. However, growth begins with accountability: take ownership of your development, embrace challenges and step outside your comfort zone.
When you grow, so does Schréder.
Internal Mobility Opportunities
At Schréder, we believe that borders, whether between departments or countries, should never limit talent. That’s why we created Talent Without Borders, our internal mobility programme.
It empowers employees to explore new roles, locally or globally, supporting both personal and professional growth while strengthening our culture of collaboration and innovation.
Focus on Sustainability
At Schréder, sustainability guides our actions for our people, our planet and our communities.
We promote equal opportunities, inclusion, and respect for human rights. We act on climate change, reduce our carbon footprint and foster a circular economy.
Through our commitment to responsible lighting, we support communities worldwide by delivering the right light where and when it is needed to have a positive social and environmental impact.
At Schréder, light has always been at the heart of what we do. Today, building on that legacy, we are transforming public and private spaces into digital, sustainable, and secure environments that have a long-term positive impact in our communities. Joining us means shaping this transformation, not just witnessing it.
