Being a responsible business

Adopting best practices

As a responsible business, we act in an exemplary manner towards all our stakeholders, both in-house and external, in accordance with a business ethics policy which applies to the whole Group. We promote a working culture that respects and values every employee and we make sure our suppliers adhere to the same standards as us.

Our ambition

To ensure sustainable and responsible growth, we are adopting best practices and applying them to all our activities on a daily basis.

We respect our employees and listen to all our stakeholders throughout our value chain.

« Committed to developing skills, our aim is to help everyone grow, promote employability and respond to market trends.  »

Zero workplace accidents

Promoting a working culture that respects every employee

The health, safety and well-being at work of our teams are priority objectives for us. This includes managing occupational hazards, monitoring prevention and implementing a continuous improvement process.

We also intend to guarantee every employee a minimum threshold of social protection. Finally, we listen to the needs of all our employees, particularly through engagement surveys.

2027 TARGET

To introduce the FR2t (accident rate with and without lost time, also including temporary staff) and reduce it by 20% before 2027 compared to 2024

Valuing every employee

Because developing the skills of our teams and their employability are priorities, we are committed to training our employees every year and to help them improve their skills.

2027 TARGET

To train 90% of employees annually and achieve 10 hours of training for each employee in 2027

683,000 hours of training delivered in 2024 across all domains

Complying with business ethics

To ensure business ethics, we train those employees who are likely to encounter risky situations. We are committed to respecting Human rights in all the countries where we operate, involving our value chain, including our key suppliers, into our approach.

2027 TARGETS

To achieve 100% of major suppliers engaged and conforming to the Ecovadis Human Rights score and 100% of at-risk suppliers engaged

To pursue Legrand’s commitment to business ethics: framing, training and complying

We are living out our commitments

Being a responsible company is now a reality on the ground, and is concrete and measurable. Learn how we are living out our commitments.

Serenity On: employee well-being in the spotlight

Legrand intends to guarantee minimum social protection for all Group employees. This is the aim of the Serenity On programme launched in 2017. Since 2021, the programme has also covered, in addition to health insurance and National Insurance, well-being at work. Every employee, regardless of the country they live in and their seniority, must be able to benefit from concrete actions related to physical and mental well-being. The challenge is to allow everyone to work in complete serenity.

"Safety” dojos being deployed

Derived from the Japanese concept of immersive learning, Safety Dojos are rooms used for workplace health & safety actions. Legrand has already rolled these out in several countries, notably in Turkey, India, the Netherlands, Mexico, China and France.

Suppliers committed to Human Rights

With the signing of the Supplier Code of Conduct, CSR evaluations, and the implementation of action plans and on-site audits, Legrand strongly encourages its suppliers to engage in a continuous improvement approach, thereby helping to mitigate the risks of non-compliance with local and/or international regulations regarding working hours, health and safety rules, and the risk of forced or child labor.

80%

This is the overall employee engagement rate of the Group in our latest engagement survey, to which 82% of employees responded. Among them, 87% of Legrand employees believe that the company cares about their health and safety. As for training, 82% of respondents consider it to be appropriate. .
