The Executive Committee reviews and authorizes material concerning operating contracts under negotiation in France and in international markets, and related capital projects. It does the same for proposed company acquisitions or divestments, strategic partnerships and acquisitions of contract or business portfolios.

Each month, the Committee reviews the Group’s operational and marketing performance and discusses the information derived from division-level performance reviews. It initiates and oversees cross-functional programs involving the sales and marketing, human resources, finance, budget control and purchasing functions, and programs to optimize productivity and the cost base.
