Employees at Schneider Electric sites throughout the UK are taking part in a worldwide campaign aimed at providing support for organisations involved with assisting young people in difficulty Designated Luli - a word chosen because it is easy to pronounce in any language - the campaign is co-ordinated by the Schneider Electric Foundation, a charitable organisation established three years ago by Schneider Electric chairman, Henri Lachmann

Servomotor system suits a range of machinery
The Lexium motion controller is sufficiently powerful to require no other PLCs for many applications.
In the UK, employees at all Schneider Electric locations, including those in Maidenhead, Leeds, Telford, Coventry, Swindon and Chippenham, have voted for their efforts in support of the Luli campaign to be channelled to the UK charity, "Children with Leukaemia".
To date, activities have included sponsored walks, auctions, raffles and barbecues.
Further events, including dress-down days, are planned for the near future.
As a result of these fund-raising efforts, Schneider Electric's employees are anticipating making a sizeable donation to their chosen charity at the conclusion of the campaign.
Support for the Luli campaign in the UK is part of a worldwide effort, which involves no fewer than 71,900 Schneider Electric employees in 60 countries.
In each country, the employees have decided which charities to support.
In Russia, for example, they have chosen an association encouraging the handicapped, while in Brazil, the choice is an association assisting young people to integrate with the working world.
In every country, however, the project is serving the common advancement goals for young people.
Through its Foundation, Schneider Electric is once again pushing back the limits of exclusion.
The substance of this effort is not the cheque sent to the charitable organisation selected by each country and each site, but is reflected in the personal commitment of each employee to assist disadvantaged young people.
Luli is built to last - it is an action of individual responsibility which involves all Schneider Electric employees.
Responding to the challenge of developing corporate community responsibility, which is embodied in Schneider Electric's NEW 2004 corporate development programme, the Luli campaign is part of the organisation's ongoing efforts to highlight each employee's commitment to being a responsible member of the community.
