Sustainability
1. Training and education The lighting industry has been undergoing fundamental changes in the last decade. In order to meet cities’ needs, Schréder must both maintain its traditional business strengths and develop new ones for the age of big data. Schréder has developed its own internal training academy called SKILL, which stands for Sharing Knowledge in Light and Lighting. The SKILL’s mission is to increase Schréder employees’ and stakeholders’ competencies to successfully face changes in the lighting market such as smart lighting and new control systems. SKILL also develops e-learning and online courses on Schréder’s internal organisation and policies in collaboration with other departments, including onboarding tools for new hires, anti-bribery and anti-corruption training and competition law compliance.

They are conducted both internally and externally, as needed. The number of training sessions was lower than usual in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, the internal training catalogue had to be completely reviewed and adapted. We accelerated the digitisation of our courses, making 23 courses available in e-learning and online course formats. Furthermore, two webinars a week were given to sales staff from April to June to speed up training (around 300 webinars, +13,500 attendees). Other external training is also available for employees. It is managed locally depending on the individual, group or departmental needs and objectives, such as a language or IT skills. We also run large-scale training programmes on subjects such as fork-lift truck driving, health and safety, working at heights, understanding assembly processes for workers in our factories. The training programmes are managed locally based on the plant’s requirements.
