CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND DECLARATION OF EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

ACTING ETHICALLY TOWARDS SOCIETY

R 4.3.3.2 COMBATING EXCLUSION AND ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LIVE MORE INDEPENDENTLY For Legrand, reducing inequalities means supporting those who are excluded, disadvantaged or discriminated against. This long- term commitment led in 2014 to the creation of the Fondation Legrand – Générateur d’autonomies (Legrand Foundation – Generating independence) under the aegis of the Fondation Agir Contre l’Exclusion (FACE), a registered non-profit organization. The Legrand Foundation aims to combat exclusion linked with a loss of independence and electricity poverty, and to promote education and access to employment, particularly in the electrical sector. The contribution of the Legrand Foundation takes the form of material assistance, voluntary work, skills sponsorship and financial support. A registered non-profit organization, FACE encourages local industry to make social and workforce-related commitments. Thanks to its network of local associations, it now involves more than 6,150 companies, both large corporations and SMEs, and has become the leading network of companies in France to focus on CSR, integration, education and access to services. In keeping with its local approach, the FACE Foundation is opening new offices every year (154 in France and worldwide) and extending the scope of its action. Its aim is to create centers of expertise based on its five areas of action: within companies, for employment, for education and culture, in daily life, and within communities. Within each of these areas, actions and training courses are administered by Clubs, with active participation from the partner companies and their employees.

Annual targets: To implement at least one project in each of the Foundation’s four action areas during the whole time-span of the roadmap. 2018 achievements: In 2018, eight new projects began, some of which consisted of extending existing projects into new territories. Since the Legrand Foundation was first established in 2014, 42 projects have therefore been completed in France.

Électriciens Sans Frontières has exported its model across Europe with the aim of empowering people to fight global energy poverty and to galvanize the European energy sector. Legrand’s Italian subsidiary signed a partnership agreement with new NGO Elettrici Senza Frontiere when it was set up in November 2015. Through that partnership, various initiatives were carried out in 2018 and preparations were carried out for initiatives to be carried out in 2019. In November 2018, for example, the third and final phase of the initiative in the “Bimbi del Meriggio” village, alongside the Aïna charity, saw the main distribution board upgraded to supply power to all structures of the initiative and thereby help provide lighting in all classrooms. In 2019, Bticino will support Elettrici Senza Frontiere in a project to electrify the village of Napongxangkaw in Laos, with the participation of one Bticino employee, and a project to electrify the hospital in Chiulo, Angola, which covers the needs of 300,000 people in its region. Group subsidiaries provide logistical and organizational support to volunteers working for Électriciens Sans Frontières whenever possible. This may take the form of delivering equipment or loaning premises for training. For example, in 2013 Legrand’s subsidiary in the Philippines provided equipment and logistical support to Électriciens Sans Frontières to support its efforts following typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the archipelago. In 2015, after cyclone Pam, Legrand’s teams in Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia arranged for a team of three volunteers from Électriciens Sans Frontières to visit Vanuatu, and particularly Tanna Island. They assisted themwith choosing equipment, arranging transportation and completing administrative procedures, as well as putting them in touch with local electricians. In 2017, in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria, Legrand’s teams helped volunteers from Électriciens Sans Frontières liaise with local distributors. In 2018, after the earthquake in Indonesia, Legrand provided logistical support and equipment to allow Électriciens Sans Frontières volunteers to respond to that natural disaster as quickly as possible. More information about the partnership with Électriciens Sans Frontières can be found on our website ( www.legrand.com ). The “electricity well” is the result of Legrand’s collaboration with the École des Mines at Albi in France, designed to meet the needs of local communities that have limited access to electricity. It makes it possible to cover basic needs in terms of energy distribution by enabling up to 30 mobile phones to be charged simultaneously from an electricity generator, photovoltaic installation or network connection. Legrand supplied prototypes to Électriciens Sans Frontières to test the solution on the ground. Focus: The “electricity well”, a community project for areas with limited access to electricity
