Supplier Diversity at Legrand
A program that empowers economic growth, development, and sustainable business practices in underserved communities strengthens Legrand North and Central America through competition, reduction of supply chain risk, and opportunities for expansion with the emergence of new consumer needs based upon shifting demographic realities.
Since 2019, diversity has been included in the CSR criteria considered when selecting suppliers, in the same way as their carbon reduction and commitment to the circular economy. This generates economic opportunity for historically under-represented suppliers, including minority-, veteran- and women-owned businesses.
"At Legrand one of our key strengths comes from our diverse global supply chain. We're committed to creating an inclusive environment that sparks innovation and supports the growth of diverse suppliers. By partnering with businesses of all sizes and backgrounds, we not only provide exceptional value to our customers but also boost the economic health of our local communities. We succeed by being intentional and holding our leaders, employees, and suppliers accountable for this important effort. Our commitment to supplier diversity reflects our belief that diverse perspectives lead to excellence and lasting success, benefiting the communities we serve."
We improve lives by transforming the spaces where people live, work and meet, with electrical and digital infrastructures and connected solutions that are simple, innovative and sustainable.
"We recognize that supplier diversity is not just a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative. Legrand is committed to working with diverse suppliers who can provide high-quality competitive products and services that meet the company's standards and needs. This commitment to supplier diversity is reflected in the company's policies, practices, and partnerships, as well as in its efforts to support diverse communities and promote equal opportunities for all."
