NOTE 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with IFRS 8, operating segments are determined
based on the reporting made available to the chief operating
decision maker of the Group and to the Group's management.
Given that Legrand activities are carried out locally, the Group
is organized for management purposes by countries or groups of
countries which have been allocated for internal reporting purposes
into three operating segments:
- Europe, including France, Italy and Rest of Europe (mainly
including Benelux, Germany, Iberia (including Portugal and Spain),
Poland, the United Kingdom and Turkey);
- North and Central America, including Canada, Mexico, the United
States, and Central American countries; and
- Rest of the world, mainly including Australia, China, India and
South America (of which particularly Brazil, Chile and
Colombia).
These three operating segments are under the responsibility of
three segment managers who are directly accountable to the chief
operating decision maker of the Group.
The economic models of subsidiaries within
these segments are quite similar. Indeed, their sales are made up
of electrical and digital building infrastructure products in
particular to electrical installers, sold mainly through
third-party distributors.
