These principles are fully in line with the Group’s Charter of Fundamental Principles and are incorporated into company policy through our CSR strategy. This results in a model for business development founded on a set of workforce-related, social and environmental values, which we actively promote in all our subsidiaries and in relationships with our stakeholders in all parts of the world. In the interest of transparency and continued progress, we are including in this registration document a progress report on Legrand’s CSR efforts.” Benoît Coquart, Chief Executive Officer of Legrand These external standards and regulations are adopted by the Group’s entities in the form of policies, charters, guides and procedures that all employees are expected to observe, in particular: W the Charter of Fundamental Principles , which lays down the rules on how to behave and conduct business, and incorporates the principles of combating corruption and respecting human rights.
