A structured process of improvement

Legrand's sustainable development approach is a commitment covering three areas: social responsibility, environment and governance. These three areas comprise eight priorities, which are major concerns for the Group, and are built into the activities of the Group's teams on a day-to-day basis, with a continuing desire for progress and improvement.

3 areas, 8 priorities

Legrand's social commitment reflects its desire to place the individual at the heart of the Group's development. Both as an employer, investing for its staff (health and safety, diversity, HR development, etc.), and as a socially responsible organisation, encouraging access to electricity and developing innovative solutions to help with independent living.

Governance

Working in an ethical, transparent way, and communicating with the stakeholders, to ensure sustainable growth, Legrand applies its commitments to all its activities. One aim in particular is to involve the Group's suppliers and customers in its sustainable development approach.

Environment

The Group's environmental approach aims to incorporate environmental protection at all levels within the company. It concerns not only the sites and logistics flows but also product design. Central to all these concerns is the constant endeavour to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
