R 4.1.2.2 THE GROUP’S RISKMAP Methodology The Group’s risk mapping approach is described in detail in Chapter 3.3 “Risk management system”. Legrand’s risks include some that relate to workforce-related, social and environmental issues. Through its risk-assessment work, the Group has identified the most critical of these CSR risks. The notion of criticality – i.e. possible impact and probability of occurrence – is used to rank CSR issues in terms of importance, and involves looking at gross theoretical risk before any risk- management steps are taken. Risks are ranked by criticality, and then prioritized in terms of the Group’s estimated level of control over them. There are four levels of criticality: 4 (minor), 3 (moderate), 2 (significant) and 1 (critical).

Results The results of the risk-mapping exercise are presented in Chapter 3.6 “Risk factors and control mechanisms in place”. R 4.1.2.3 HIERARCHY OF PRIORITY RISKS AND ISSUES IN TERMS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Bringing together these two approaches, the main issues and risks involved in our business model are assessed as follows. N.B.: Materiality issues: ranked from 1 to 3 depending on their level of priority, 1 being the highest. Criticality issues: ranked from 1 to 4 depending on their level of criticality, 1 being the highest.
