Closer to our customers
Though Legrand’s beginnings were essentially European, it has a global presence today. Our Group is established in nearly 90 countries, as close as possible to our customers, and our products are distributed in nearly 180.
In addition, we hold leading positions in countries such as France, Italy and the United States – our No. 1 market. Nearly 2/3 of our sales come from products with leaderships, i.e., that rank first or second in their markets.
In 2021, 41% of our sales came from Europe, 39% from North and Central America, and 20% from the Rest of the World.
RESPONDING TO A CHANGING WORLD
We stay attuned to user needs, responding to social megatrends in a changing world. Some of the change is structural – the product of demographic growth, rising urbanization and expanding middle classes. Some is key, driven by the buildings of tomorrow, the environmental crisis, and growing needs in healthcare, independent living and well-being. And some is the product of trends that gained momentum following the Covid-19 pandemic, including demand for connectivity, increasingly flexible ways of working, and growth in online activities. To keep pace with shifting conditions and customer needs, we constantly expand our offer.
We are committed to sustainable development
As a leader, we consider it our duty to offer concrete responses to the major technological and societal challenges of our century. Promoting diversity, we are keen to build an even more inclusive company. And because our desire to contribute to a low-carbon society is as great as that to ensure a better life for future generations, we are committed to accelerating our actions to make our activities increasingly sustainable.
