Employees
A trained, motivated, agile, stable workforce
The increasing complexity of the world, the growing separation between everybody’s initial experience and the practical needs of day-to-day life, and the speed of knowledge development all mean that we have to constantly update and grow our knowledge in every field.
Our 2023 training budget represented 2.64% of the wage bill.

A high-performance logistics
Our subsidiaries may have one or more warehouses from which they ship orders to customers in France, Europe and Africa. They guarantee delivery times to customers:
✣ 24/72 hours for France.
✣ 2-6 days for overseas depending on the destination.
✣ Sodeco Valves, based in Belgium, can deliver in four hours in its trading area.
This implies:
✣ Stock management ensuring ‘zero stock-out’, a crucial requirement for our purchasing departments.
✣ Agreements with reliable transport companies.

Individual shareholders
A stable shareholding
For a company of our size, we have an exceptionally large number of private shareholders: 9,427 individuals, representing 41.1% of the Group’s capital.
In 2023, 3,004 new shareholders joined us and 1,645 left (temporarily perhaps...).
In 2023, we noted a slight decrease in the share of capital held by active and retired employees. However, we are maintaining our target of 8.5% of capital held by them by 2030.
