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 are allocated for internal reporting purposes into five geographical segments:
The first four segments are under the responsibility of four segment managers who are directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker of the Group.
Rest of the world is the only segment subject to an aggregation of several operating segments which are under the responsibility of segment managers who are themselves 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 mainly through third-party distributors.
