On Wednesday November 25th, Proxinvest, a European proxy advisor for institutional investors, announced the winners of its 5 “Grand Prix” prizes, awarded by an independent jury.

In this context, Legrand was awarded the "2020 ESG innovation" Grand Prix.

The prize rewards a European company for its innovative practices in terms of "ESG", i.e. the "Environmental, Social and Governance" criteria used to measure a company’s extra-financial performance and allow it to be compared with other economic players.

Legrand has been rewarded for its use of a CSR Roadmap achievement rate over 5 consecutive years as a management performance indicator.

Legrand is also one of just a few companies to deploy a CSR roadmap, which was praised by Proxinvest for its clarity and its close integration with the company’s operations.
