CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

The Group’s CSR strategy

These external standards are adopted by the Group’s entities in the form of guidelines and charters which all employees are expected to observe, namely: W the Charter of Fundamental Principles , which lays down the rules on how to behave and conduct business and incorporates the principles of anti-corruption and respect for human rights. The text has been translated into a dozen languages and is accompanied by a practical guide; W the Fair Competition Charter , which defines the rules on compliance with competition law; W the Guide to Good Business Practice , which focuses on preventing corruption and fraud. Other matters relating to conflicts of interest, lobbying, political contributions or compliance with international trade rules (compliance with sanctions, fight against money laundering, financing of terrorist activities) are also covered; W the Prevention Charter , which sets out the key principles of Legrand’s health and safety policy. It defines three principles: compliance with national legislation and regulations, incorporation of safety into operating policies, and the harmonization of prevention strategies; W the Charter of Human Rights , detailing the rules that the Group wants its own businesses and suppliers to apply; W the Environment Policy , which sets out the requirements and fundamental aspects of the Group’s environmental strategy; W the Energy Policy , which includes commitments for continuous improvement of energy performance; W the Quality Policy , which sets out Legrand’s principles regarding the quality of its products; W the Purchasing Policy , which establishes the principles of sustainable, balanced and mutually beneficial supplier relations. These documents are promoted and disseminated locally by ethics and environmental representatives, human resources managers, the purchasing community, quality assurance officers and health and safety teams. These documents are available from the CSR Resource Center on our website ( www.legrand.com) . R 4.1.1.2 DIALOGUEWITH STAKEHOLDERS Legrand’s CSR strategy involves close interaction with its stakeholders. It is based on: W its historic involvement with players in the electrical sector; W its culture of social dialogue; W its dialogue with local communities; W Legrand’s willingness to listen to stakeholders’ expectations so that it can respond accordingly.

Legrand identifies eight stakeholders as priorities: 1) its customers and users of its products and solutions, whether they are specifiers, installers or end customers;

2) its employees and trade unions; 3) its suppliers and subcontractors;

4) the scientific community, industry and the education sector; 5) the financial and extra-financial community (notably banks and rating agencies); 6) its shareholders; 7) civil society; 8) NGOs and charitable organizations. Legrand maintains a detailed mapping of its stakeholders on which it identifies their expectations, Legrand’s responses and forms of dialogue. This mapping is available at www.legrand.com . The activities of the Group’s subsidiaries, functional departments and SBUs (Strategic Business Units) are part of an approach involving reciprocity and dialogue with their customers, suppliers, employees and partners. This approach encourages knowledge-sharing and dialogue on CSR. For example, Legrand is involved in studies, surveys and round tables, both within and outside the industry, which are important sources of information and opportunities to share best practice. The Group is therefore a member of the CSR committees set up within professional bodies (GIMELEC, FIEEC, etc.), the Club des Directeurs du Développement Durable (C3D), and the Institut du Capitalisme Responsable. Locally, Legrand’s teams may take part in studies, working groups and committees on CSR topics in their countries. Focus: Legrand first signed the CAPIEL Code of Conduct “Diriger nos business de façon durable” (Sustainable business management) in 2012 It is committed to guiding and supporting stakeholders in its market by setting ambitious standards for itself in the fields of ethics, social responsibility, the environment and customer satisfaction. Year after year, the Group strives for continuous improvement in each of these areas, focusing on creating value over the long term. These objectives apply to the entire supply chain, from suppliers to product sales. R 4.1.1.3 MATERIALITY STUDY In 2013, Legrand conducted its first materiality test which established the Group’s CSR priorities and thus helped to identify the key issues in the 2014-2018 roadmap (detailed below). In 2017, Legrand wanted the principle of materiality to remain central to its CSR approach, reaffirming its alignment with the “statement on extra-financial performance” and its commitment to focusing on priority issues for Group stakeholders with a significant impact on the development of its business.
