ambitions

Our ambition


It is Legrand’s ambition to reduce the environmental footprint of its products, by giving priority to the circular economy, reducing the quantity of materials used and promoting the reuse of materials.

carbonefootprint

Limit the environmental impact of our products


Promoting circular economy, is to innovate in order to build an economy in which the end of life of a product is taken into account from its design stage, so as to limit its environmental impact. This ecosystem is based on more effective use of natural resources. It is also based on more complete recovery of waste, both for Legrand and for the electrical and digital sector, in particular by setting up end-of-life processing channels for Legrand products. In addition, by stimulating innovation, the approach creates new business opportunities for the Group.

ecodesign

Eco-design


In order to reduce its environmental impact, Legrand incorporates circular economy principles into the development of new products. This eco-design approach concerns all of the stages in the product life cycle, from design to end of life, in particular through the choice of raw materials. Legrand is committed to using more recycled materials. 2024 TARGET Achieve a 15% recycled plastics use rate and 40% recycled metals use rate in products manufactured by the Group

batibox

Boxes made of 100% recycled plastic


Since 2020, all of the flush-mounting boxes in the Batibox masonry range have been produced using recycled plastic.

PEP

Provide environmental information on our products


Because reducing the environmental footprint of buildings is linked to choices made during their early design stages, it is important to be able to inform designers and installers of the environmental impact of the products they specify and install. Developed at the initiative of Legrand in particular, the PEP (Product Environmental Profile) eco-passport has become the leading environmental declaration programme for electrical and digital equipment. 2024 TARGET Cover 72% of the Group’s annual sales with Product Sustainable Profiles
