Group Legrand India, a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure, has been awarded the Gender Equality and Diversity European and International Standard (GEEIS) Certification in recognition of the Organization’s policies and initiatives promoting diversity, equity and workplace inclusion. The certification was granted by Arborus Consulting, a recognized certifying body for GEEIS-DIVERSITY, and audited by Bureau Veritas Certification.

The GEEIS-DIVERSITY certification is based on a rigorous assessment of a company’s policies, practices, and culture in promoting equality and diversity and recognizes organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to creating an inclusive work environment. For the Legrand Group, inclusion is built around five focal areas: gender diversity, inclusivity towards people with disabilities, intergenerational collaboration, diversity of background (e.g., social, cultural, ethnic), and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people. The two key pillars identified for the GEEIS Certification for India were gender and inclusivity toward people with disabilities.

“We are delighted to receive the GEEIS-DIVERSITY certification for India, which reaffirms our commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in our workplace,” said Tony Berland, CEO and Managing Director of Group Legrand India. “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are at the heart of Group Legrand’s CSR roadmap and people philosophy. We believe this is critical for business success and social progress and are committed to creating a work environment where everyone can reach their full potential.”

Group Legrand India has implemented several initiatives to promote diversity at the workplace, including a diversity and inclusion policy that promotes equal opportunities for all employees, a flexible work arrangement policy that allows employees to balance their personal and professional commitments, a gender-neutral parental leave policy and various people development initiatives to help build a stronger diverse leadership and talent pipeline.
