> Read the newsSocial responsibility applies to all the partners with which the Legrand Group interacts. This interaction must be done in full respect of the rules of ethics, particularly with regard to business practices and purchasing policy.
As a committed player and an ethical company, the Group is also involved in solidarity initiatives, particularly in support of access to electricity, assisted living, and the fight against energy poverty.
Observing the rules of ethical behaviour is one of Legrand's fundamental values, along with customer focus, resource development and innovation.
These four values are at the heart of the Group's identity and are fundamental for long-lasting profitable development.
Based on this identity as an ethical company, Legrand is committed to preventing corruption and fraud and observing the rules of competition.
The Group also organises itself to avoid conflicts of interest and fights against embargoes, money laundering, and the funding of terrorism.
On the one hand by raising awareness and training its teams, and on the other hand by closely monitoring that its compliance programme is properly implemented.
Legrand's responsible purchasing approach is one of the structuring elements of its social responsibility.
To ensure sustainable development of its activities, the Group expects its suppliers and subcontractors to meet the same standards of social and environmental responsibility that it imposes on itself.
Legrand engages with them and supports them with a progress-oriented approach.
More than 60 % of the Group panel's purchases are with suppliers who share the principles of the Global Compact.
15% of the world's population does not have access to electricity.

Because electricity is an essential factor in the development of populations, Legrand considers that, as a global specialist in electrical and digital infrastructure for buildings, it has a responsibility to help as many people as possible all over the world to enjoy sustainable access to electricity.
