In order to achieve its objectives, Legrand is committed to reducing the following CO2 emissions: direct emissions related to its fossil fuel consumption, in particular for the heating of its sites and running of its vehicles (scope 1); indirect emissions related to its electricity consumption (scope 2); indirect emissions (scope 3), in particular those related to goods and services purchased, transport services, and the distribution and end-of-life processing of products sold.

The building sector is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions. For Legrand, improving the carbon footprint and building energy performance is a major challenge to be met. The impact of buildings during their construction and renovation is increasingly governed by environmental standards, leading to growing demand for eco-designed and transparent products. Legrand’s ecodesign approach has been in place for many years now and there is a Product Sustainable Profile for 70% of products in the catalogue. In addition, the development and installation of equipment and solutions that improve building energy efficiency enable each Legrand user to reduce their energy consumption. Among other things, these solutions include presence sensors, consumption measurement tools and connected home management systems. For non-residential buildings and data centers, Legrand provides measurement and control equipment such as smart power distribution units, lighting management solutions and highefficiency products such as UPS and transformers. In addition, Legrand has a comprehensive electric vehicle charging offering, particularly in Europe.
