The #Legrandrainbow network: a more inclusive company is a more efficient company.

As homophobia in the workplace is still a taboo subject, the Legrand Rainbow network was created in 2019 by employees themselves. Its aim is to promote an inclusive corporate culture where everyone has the possibility of expressing themselves and their diversity within the Group, and to be themselves at work as part of the LGBT+ community.

"Black professional network": promoting equal opportunities in the group

Established in July 2020, the “Black Professional Network” supports African-American employees at Legrand North & Central America. Its mission is to improve the lives of its members by promoting equal opportunities in the company and success on a personal level, with a mentoring system, awareness campaigns and support for career development.
