About ( LAURA) XIAOHONG DING

Xiaohong (Laura) Ding is a director of Schneider Electric SE, where she serves as the representative of employee shareholders. She was appointed in May 2025 by the Annual General Meeting, following a recommendation from the supervisory boards of the employee shareholding funds (FCPEs), under the French corporate governance framework that provides for employee-shareholder representation on the board. Schneider Electric also identifies her as a Chinese national on its Board of Directors. Her appointment takes place within a highly international governance environment, alongside a board composed of directors from multiple nationalities and a large majority of independent members. At Schneider Electric, Laura Ding contributes to the Board’s work on strategy, long-term value creation, risk oversight, governance, and the supervision of the Group’s overall performance. As an employee-shareholder representative, she plays a specific role in connecting the listed company’s boardroom with its employee investors and in helping ensure that long-term alignment remains a key part of corporate decision-making. This position requires a strong understanding of employee ownership, long-term shareholder alignment, and the industrial, financial, and social priorities of the company. The public information reviewed primarily associates her with this board mandate rather than with a detailed executive career history. In the Schneider Electric governance documents consulted, she is not presented as part of the Group’s Executive Committee or as a day-to-day operational executive. Her public profile is therefore centered on her role as a board member. Her position is especially relevant in a global company such as Schneider Electric, a leader in energy management and automation digital transformation, operating across many markets and exposed to major themes such as the energy transition, innovation, industrial competitiveness, and social responsibility. As employee-shareholder representative director, Laura Ding participates in governance that seeks to balance financial performance with stakeholder engagement and durable corporate stewardship.
