CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

Offering users sustainable solutions

In the home, for example, solutions range from sensors to complete automation equipment. This allows lighting, heating and other sources of electricity consumption to be controlled and programmed, optimizing electricity consumption and ultimately reducing energy bills. In commercial or industrial buildings, the offering consists, for example, of lighting management, office equipment management, security lighting or even network metering and monitoring. Further examples include capacitor banks, which increase system performance, and network analyzers, which measure consumption and energy quality. For more information on the Group’s energy efficiency solutions, see section 4.2.1.4, or visit the website at www.legrand.com . Products dedicated to assisted living Legrand provides support to people with diminishing capacities for independent living with solutions that improve comfort and safety. These home systems allow people to enjoy living at home safely and for longer . By 2050, the global population over the age of 80 is set to more than triple compared with 2017 (source: UN). These social changes represent new challenges for electrical and digital infrastructure, particularly in terms of: W guaranteeing the safety of people who are frail, with a range of everyday devices, such as switches and plugs that are easy to use, or enhanced home automation functions, such as My Home , which offers centralized or remote commands. Lighting paths, which highlight obstacles, aid orientation and prevent falls, reducing the latter by up to 30% (source: trial carried out in association with Corrèze Regional Council in France). Finally, safety in the home, which involves the use of technical sensors such as smoke, gas and carbon monoxide detectors; W facilitating access to building features, such as shutters or heating,withLegrandhomeautomationsolutions(e.g.Legrand’s Céliane lighting control systems or Bticino 300 X connected door-entry systems) means that home environments can be programmed from a single control point, with lighting, heating and access set to match personal needs and preferences. Céliane systems can even be coupled with remote control systems to offset specific motor or sensory deficiencies; W facilitating communication with the outside world by sending reports on the status of the dwelling and information on the activity of its occupant to a support center, which can then respond to alerts remotely and take control of home automation systems. The solutions of the subsidiaries Intervox Systèmes, Neat and Tynetec can be used, via wearable alarm devices, to trigger a manual or automatic alarm (fall sensor) and alert a remote support center in the event of illness, for example.

W keeping pace with technological advances, such as the digitization of telecommunications networks that transmit calls between homes for the elderly and support centers. The range of NOVO carephone systems from Neat and REACH IP from Tynetec allow the Group to be part of the switchover from telecommunications networks to IP technology. The monitoring platforms from Jontek (acquired in 2016) also reflect Legrand’s ambition to offer technologically advanced solutions.

R 4.2.1.2 ENSURING THE SAFETY OF USERS OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Given the potential risks associated with the use of electricity, user safety is paramount for Legrand. The Group is therefore committed to ensuring that the products it places on the market are of the highest quality and that they conform to the relevant standards. To protect users, Legrand is involved in an ongoing industry campaign to prevent counterfeiting. This roadmap priority is based on the deployment and maintenance of means to combat counterfeiting and maintain product quality. Specifically, the Group has set itself the goal of completing at least one significant action each year in the fight against counterfeiting. The term “significant” here means being able to take action by involving several partners, potentially in several different countries. In terms of product quality, the aim is to ensure that the product risk management policy is properly applied within the Group. Group priority 2014-2018 Extend the deployment of initiatives in favor of product quality and against counterfeiting in the electrical industry. Key performance indicators: the number of seized counterfeit products, anti-counterfeiting measures, the percentage of Group sales compliant with the product risk management policy. Annual targets: To monitor the number of seized counterfeit products, introduce at least one major anti-counterfeiting measure, and ensure that 100% of sales are covered by the product risk treatment policy. 2017 achievement: The Group slightly underperformed on the indicator for the implementation of the product risk management procedure, since 93% of its sales are generated within entities that apply the principles, against an annual target of 100%.
