At Legrand, sustainability isn't just a goal; it's a journey of continuous improvement and innovation. My work with the Sustainability team brought to life a series of initiatives aimed at reducing our carbon footprint, improving employee well-being, and phasing out outdated practices. From the annual Energy Marathon to event designs for Greenbuild, my contributions have helped embed sustainable practices into the fabric of Legrand's culture, products, and operations.

Designing with sustainability in mind required a delicate balance. The challenge was to adhere to Legrand's stringent brand guidelines while promoting our commitment to LEED, WELL, RoHS, and CSR principles. A key obstacle was crafting a design that communicated our hierarchy of better performance, better operations, and better lives, all while coordinating with external parties to gather necessary materials on time.

My approach was tailored to each project's specific needs, always with the end deliverable in mind. I developed scalable design components that could be easily adapted across various mediums, from sustainability signage and employee collateral to digital assets for our website. Collaborating closely with the Sustainability team, I was able to transform complex environmental data and objectives into clear, engaging, and informative designs. This included everything from the ARC meter in our lobby that displays our building's live sustainability metrics to the comprehensive branding of our Experience Center.

The impact of these initiatives has been profound. Legrand's headquarters now proudly boasts LEED certification, a testament to our integrated approach to product use and building management. Our Energy Marathons have fostered a culture of conservation among employees, leading to significant energy savings and a greater awareness of sustainability practices. Furthermore, these initiatives have enhanced Legrand's reputation as a leader in sustainable business practices, setting a benchmark for the industry and creating a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
