For many years, the Legrand Group has taken strength from its values, the Charter of Fundamental Principles and the expertise and know-how of its personnel to ensure the profitable, sustainable and responsible growth of its business, which associates long term performance with the preservation of the environment and the valorisation of its human capital. Respecting not just people and the environment but also the community in the wider sense is at the very core of the Group's strategy and gives its development a more ambitious dimension.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Legrand Electric Limited is part of the Legrand Group, the world specialist in products and systems for electrical installations and data networks in residential, commercial buildings and in industry. Legrand considers preservation of the environment to be a major corporate issue. This principle applies to all Legrand business areas including all aspects of product, marketing, design and manufacturing.
Legrand commits to meet its environmental goals in three principal ways:
• Integrating environmental management into our industrial and service plants • By considering the full life cycle of a product, acknowledging the environment in our product design • Developing and offering our customers environment friendly solutions
Legrand Electric Limited sees the implementation of its environmental policy and process as key to the long term success of the company, specifically it will:
• Comply with environmental directives and regulations • Implement environmental management processes in its plants • Implement processes and procedures that ensure safe operations for its staff and the environment • Analyse and manage its use of energy in all its manufacturing and service processes and as a result, target to minimise the energy impact of its activities on the environment through continuous improvement • Review its processes to minimise any effect on the environment both locally and globally • Will develop and design products to take account of the environmental impact of the full life cycle of a product • Provide appropriate training to its staff in the implementation of the environmental policy • Communicate to all our suppliers our requirements on their environmental performance • Monitor and report on its environmental performance at least annually
Legrand Electric Limited will use appropriate formal management processes to deliver its environmental policy and as appropriate have these accredited by qualified external parties. Legrand considers accreditations to ISO 14001 for its operations as a key element in this process.

- Environmentally aware product design. Our ambition is to reduce the impact that our products have on the environment during its entire life cycle.
- Product functions that help to avoid energy waste - by providing environmentally friendly solutions for customers, which with continued innovation, will consume less energy and can be better managed.

The Charter of Fundamental Principles also details the Legrand Group's key principles with respect to risk prevention and the environment and, moreover, forms an integral part of our policy of sustainable development.
