Legrand's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Legrand reported significant carbon emissions, with total Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 195,000,000,000 kg CO2e. This follows their 2022 emissions data, which indicated total emissions of about 245,356,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 121,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and no reported Scope 2 emissions. Legrand's emissions profile highlights a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect emissions from the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. Notably, in 2022, the use of sold products contributed about 1,755,000,000 kg CO2e, while purchased goods and services accounted for approximately 2,396,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the extensive emissions data, Legrand has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and address its substantial carbon footprint more effectively.
