Steering the process

The Sustainable Development and Quality Department, which reports to the Strategy and Development Department, is responsible for steering Legrand's Sustainable Development process. Its mission is to direct the process, monitor its application, provide its expertise in the context of projects and be involved in raising awareness internally and externally. To achieve this, it works with the Group's management departments (HR, risk management, communication, purchasing, industrial teams, etc.) and the operational divisions. The Steering Committee meets around three times a year to monitor the process and validate the strategic guidelines. It is chaired by the Chairman and CEO and led by the Sustainable Development and Quality Director.
