Since June 2019, Legrand, and six other partners representing the whole construction value chain, has joined Sekoya: Eiffage Group and Impulse Partners’ initiative to bring their expertise in carbon emission reduction and promote the use of carbon-free solutions.

The first call for solutions invited startups, SMEs, and MSBs to apply around six themes: new mobilities, low-carbon design and building, circular economy, biodiversity and ecological engineering, renewable energies, and energy efficiency.

On this occasion, David Descamps, Legrand VP France, introduced to the assembly of partners and applicants the Group’s convictions and commitments to support the development of buildings with a view to tackle environmental, societal, and technological challenges we are facing in the world. Jessica Duverneix, Group VP Corporate Social Responsibility, was a member of the jury that distinguished five startups:

• Backacia
• Sylfen
• Source Urbaine
• Celloz
• Circouleur
