Legrand Listed Among World’s 100 Most Sustainable Corporations

Legrand

In Corporate Knight’s recently released 2018 ranking of the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations, Legrand was named 51st.

The company’s sustainability strategy is built on three pillars: better operations, which optimize how Legrand manages energy, water and waste; better lives, which help people enjoy healthier, more productive and more rewarding lives; and better performance through innovative products and systems that enable buildings to reach exceptional levels of performance.

Sustainability at Legrand functions as a network of individuals and groups that work on different elements within the sustainability strategy. Susan Rochford, Vice President of Energy Efficiency, Sustainability, and Public Policy, leads a group of individuals in Canada and the U.S. referred to as the Sustainability Core Team. These Legrand employees dedicate time to leading specific sustainability initiatives that go beyond their full-time primary positions within the company. They organize their own sustainability teams/committees, which are vital in driving Legrand’s sustainability initiatives.

Teams focus on everything from organizational efficiency to product sustainability and community-based philanthropic efforts.

Legrand’s Sustainability Team offers all employees a number of ways to get involved with sustainability, including:

  • volunteering with its Better Communities Program
  • connecting with a local Sustainability Operations site leader to learn how to conduct a waste audit that ensures employees are sorting correctly and have access to the right waste bins
  • making sure their stations are properly powered down at the end of their shifts
