Protecting the environment also involves implementing the principles of the circular economy within Legrand. This approach consists of moving from a linear consumption model (use of resources, manufacture, usage, end of life and waste management) to a circular approach.
This means innovating to build a virtuous ecosystem based, on the one hand, on better use of natural resources (in tandem with the Group's eco-design initiative) and, on the other hand, more comprehensive recycling of waste, both for the purposes of Legrand's manufacturing activity and for the electrical sector, in particular by setting up systems to process Legrand products at end of life.
Legrand works towards limiting its production of industrial waste, and towards reducing its negative external consequences by fostering recovery schemes.
