LIMOGES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
The investors CSR digital event held on March 25, 2025, is the opportunity for Legrand (Paris:LR) to launch its 6th CSR roadmap for the period 2025-2027. In the presence of Benoît Coquart, CEO, Virginie Gatin, EVP CSR and Franck Lemery, CFO, this event is broadcast live and will be available for replay on the Group's website www.legrandgroup.com.
A commitment built on 5 pillars until 2027
Fully integrated into the Group's performance and value-creation strategy, and considered a decisive competitive advantage, this ambitious roadmap sets out Legrand's CSR priorities for the next 3 years. It is broken down into 5 pillars:
- Promoting diversity and inclusion, including aiming for:
- a rate of 35% of management positions (Hay Grade 14 and above) held by women, i.e. an increase of almost 15% compared with 2024,
- 4,000 new opportunities offered annually to early-in-careers,
- Mitigating climate change, in line with the Group's SBTi commitment, through:
- a reduction of -10% in the Group's direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1&2) compared to 2024 levels,
- an average reduction of -30% in the GHG emissions of our suppliers' operations representing 70% of emissions related to purchased goods (Scope 3),
- Developing a more circular economy, with initiatives such as:
- focusing on product eco-design, to achieve 50% of projects of new or redesigned product ranges meeting Legrand's eco-design index criteria,
- using over 1/3 of sustainable materials, including recycled materials, in products manufactured by the Group,
- Serving our customers, with objectives including:
- enabling our customers to avoid the emission of 20 million tons of CO2 over the 3 years of the roadmap,
- providing a top-notch customer experience, with a satisfaction rate of 80% (CSAT) and a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 50,
- Being a responsible business, including:
- committing to reducing the rate of accidents with and without stoppage by 20%, now also including temporary workers (FR2t rate),
- increasing employability and developing skills, with 90% of employees receiving 10 hours of training by 2027.
2030 ambitions
Legrand's 6th CSR roadmap is fully aligned with its 2030 ambitions, which, in addition to the financial ambitions presented in September 20242, aim to:
- reach 1/3 of key management positions (Hay Grade 20 and above) held by women (vs. 27.8% in 2024),
- reduce GHG emissions by -42% for Scopes 1&2 and by -25% for Scope 33,
- eliminate 100% of plastics in primary and secondary Legrand packaging,
- enable its customers to avoid the emission of 70 million tons of CO2 through its energy efficiency products and services (Scope 4) between 2020 and 2030,
- ensure 80% of its revenue is generated from eco-responsible solutions4.
Mobilizing all its employees as well as its ecosystem of customers and suppliers, this new CSR roadmap reflects Legrand's determination to build a more sustainable future.
