CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND DECLARATION OF EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

DUTY OF CARE

4.6 – DUTY OF CARE

In accordance with its existing CSR strategy and with France’s 2017 act on the duty of care of parent companies and ordering companies, Legrand has set up a duty of care plan. The plan applies to all of the Group’s consolidated entities, without exception. New acquisitions are included within the system as quickly as possible, as part of their integration process. Entities are included in extra-financial performance reporting at the end of the first full year of reporting. The table below summarizes Legrand’s duty of care plan to ensure respect for human rights, the environment and personal health and safety, in its own activities and those of its suppliers. It has three dimensions: W five stages of implementing a duty of care plan under the act;

W three types of issues: human rights, personal health and safety and the environment; W and two business scopes: the activities of Legrand and its subsidiaries, and the activities of its suppliers and subcontractors with which it has commercial relationships. As part of its commercial activities, Legrand has historically operated mainly a “flow” business, particularly with its distributor clients, which resell the Group’s solutions (products and services) to end-users. However, there is an upward trend in project-related sales. Accordingly, Legrand is planning to extend its duty of care plan to cover its projects business. The aim of these newmeasures is to ensure that our partners are also committed to meeting our standards in terms of working practices, business ethics, the environment and health and safety.

4.6.1 – Governance

The CSR Department is in charge of the duty of care plan. A working group involving the purchasing, operations, health and safety at work, human resources, environment and legal functions has been set up. It meets regularly to co-ordinate the duty of care plan. The working group reports on its work to the Risk Committee (as regards the system, action plan and results), since the duty of care

plan has been identified as a way of mitigating risk for the Group and its stakeholders. Members of the Executive Committee attend the Risk Committee meetings.
