On track to Lead the Future_
In a world on the move, our Group is solid. In 2023, one year after the announcement of our “Lead the Future” strategic plan, we owe our positive trajectory to our fundamentals: the quality of our infrastructures, our strong local roots, our sustainable business model but also the expertise, commitment and strength of execution of the men and women in our Group.
More than ever, we are “On track to Lead the Future”.
This integrated annual report bears witness to this.
