Legrand’s global CSR focuses on climate and circular economy, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. Group Legrand India is committed to reducing carbon footprints through community initiatives.
Green Energy Project
Promoting renewable energy by installing solar panels in educational institutions, hospitals, public spaces, etc. Since 2023, we’ve supported 20 locations with a combined capacity of 500 kWh, aiming to offset approximately 900 tonnes annually.
Water Body Restoration Project
Restored a polluted 2-hectare lake in Kumhera, Ghaziabad. We have restored the lake’s habitat to attract diverse aquatic species and birds, while also creating livelihood opportunities for local communities. We collected approximately 385 kg of plastic from Kumhera Lake, which was recycled and repurposed into benches.
Forestation Project
Urban and mangrove forestation are key initiatives. Urban forestation enhances air quality and green spaces by planting trees within city landscapes, with a total of 22,000 saplings planted across India. Through mangrove plantation, we have planted 4,500 saplings in Pulicat Lake, Tamil Nadu, restoring vital coastal habitats. This project supports biodiversity, prevents soil erosion, sequesters carbon, and engages employees in environmental stewardship
Plastic Waste Management Project
To bolster a sustainable environment, we focus on effective waste management, emphasising the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), especially for plastics across India. Beach cleanup and setting up MRF units are key initiatives. We collect plastic from four Mumbai beaches, recovering 15,000 kg of waste, 60% of which is plastic, and recycle 30% into benches with the help of 3,000 volunteers. Additionally, we set up an MRF unit in the navy, recycling 250-300 tonnes of plastic annually.
