“We’re thrilled to have participated in such an important program for our local school system,” said Mark Makwinski, Director of Innovation & Advanced Design at Legrand North America and Better Communities Site Captain for Legrand’s West Hartford location. “As a member of the community, we have a unique role to not only take part in such activities as the Green Apple Day of Service, but to also share with students and teachers the knowledge and insights we have as a building material manufacturer. It was wonderful to work alongside students from Hartford High School and teach them about the importance of sustainability.” 

This effort on sustainability in local schools is one aspect of Legrand’s Better Communities program; an initiative dedicated to supporting employee volunteer and philanthropy efforts. Monetary donations to support the Hartford Public School event were collected as part of a fundraiser this past July at the Legrand North and Central America annual leadership summit.
