Legrand's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Legrand reported total carbon emissions of approximately 84,524,000 kg CO2e, a significant reduction from 118,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This decline reflects the company's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Legrand has set ambitious targets to further decrease its emissions. By 2030, the company aims to achieve a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from a 2022 baseline. Additionally, it plans to reduce Scope 3 emissions—those arising from its value chain—by 25% within the same timeframe. Long-term goals include a 90% reduction in both Scope 1 and 2 emissions and Scope 3 emissions by 2050. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Legrand's overall commitment includes reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. The company's proactive approach to sustainability positions it as a leader in the electrical equipment and machinery sector, headquartered in France.
