OUR PURPOSE

THE MISSION COMMITTEE

By adopting the status of a mission-led company, the Bel Group and its family shareholders reaffirm their long-term vision, where profitability and responsibility go hand in hand. The effective implementation of this mission has been entrusted to a Mission Committee, established at the end of 2024. This committee will enable us to both ensure the continuity of our commitment and take our thinking and actions even further.

"Becoming a mission-led company helps to sustain a model that remains quite unique in the market: a company that goes far beyond reporting to implement a positive impact model for people and the planet."

Antoine Fiévet
Chairman of the Bel Group

CLOSELY LINKED TO THE GROUP'S GOVERNANCE

The primary role of the Mission Committee is to monitor the implementation of the company’s mission, even though it operates independently from the company’s governing bodies. We are also convinced that the Mission Committee can be a source of innovation and a driver of the company’s transformation.

Through its Chair, the Committee will regularly share its work with the Board of Directors, notably by presenting its report attached to the management report at the Group’s General Meeting. The Chair will also be invited to participate in any other relevant bodies as part of the Committee’s mission.

MULTIPLE ROLES

  • A ROLE OF MONITORING AND CHALLENGING

    The Committee reviews and validates the mission model and its overall coherence. It assesses the relevance of the objectives and their level of achievement, while questioning the mission trajectory. This is the minimum required by the PACTE law.

  • A ROLE OF PATHFINDER

    Beyond its legally defined role, the Committee can act as a pathfinder. With an outward-looking approach, it picks up on weak signals from stakeholders to help shape the future of the mission.

  • A ROLE OF EXPLORER

    With an inward-facing approach, the Committee can also identify risks and opportunities related to the mission within the company, and may highlight key challenges to be addressed.
