What can a record-breaking mountaineer teach business leaders? Resilience. Sophie Lavaud, a record-breaking mountaineer and Himalayan climber, is the definition of resilience. And today, she shared her inspiring journey with Rexel's CEO Guillaume Texier, Chief Strategy Officer Nour Mejri and hundreds of the company's business leaders at Rexel's Best Practice Forum. Designed to engage leaders in strategic topics and encourage learning, this latest Best Practice Forum took a deep dive into resilience. As Sophie's experience showed us, when your environment is continually changing and presenting new challenges, true grit is what enables you to reach new heights. For organizations, finding ways to build resilience means setting out on a sure path to grow and thrive. Sophie Lavaud earned her title as the "112,000 Lady" in June 2023 after becoming the first French climber, the first Canadian climber and the first Swiss woman to have reached all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter summits. Having achieved her dream, she is now helping women, especially in Nepal and Pakistan, achieve theirs. This year, as an ambassador of Swiss charity Terre des hommes, she is supporting a new project, Prayaas, aimed at improving maternal and newborn healthcare. She is also an accomplished public speaker and consultant for the Future21 coaching institute (www.sophielavaud.com). #RexelResilience #RexelPowerUpForum

Powering up Rexel to the next level: that was the title of our investor day held today at Gare Saint Lazare in Paris. Rexel is undergoing three deep transformations:  ➡️ The technological transformation, with digital, AI and automatization ; ➡️ The services transformation, with the constant addition of more advanced services for the benefit of our customers; ➡️ The acceleration transformation, with several secular trends at play, starting with #sustainability and #electrification, making our world of opportunities larger and faster. Over the last few years, the Rexel teams have worked hard to establish a strong foundation through the #PowerUp strategic plan. Today we are stepping up our midterm goals: ➡️ A top line growth of 5-8% per year including substantial help from value creative acquisitions; ➡️ A profitability targeting the 7%+ range; ➡️ A high single digit growth of EPS. We are living in exciting times, where we are fully ready to make our contribution to the acceleration of our market. The great performance that we have experienced over the last few years is only the beginning of the story!

Rexel won first prize of the GenAI Hackathon organized by Snowflake in Paris! Our team was able to quickly and efficiently complete different missions aimed at building a GenAI-based marketing application for client feedback based on their sentiments, analyzing it to automatically generate an appropriate response. They demonstrated a high level of proficiency with Snowflake technology, the ability to use an LLM, and the capacity to respond to different constraints of the exercise such as security, cost effectiveness, and responsible AI. Congratulations to the Rexel team represented by Valeria, Guanji, Erkan, Mickael, Nacim and Younes, for this great achievement, which shows that we have great in-house expertise and talents on these critical dimensions! I am confident that we will continue to see many more successes like this in the future. Younes Sallah Eric Laterrade Anne-Brisce Grasset Laurent Nizard Rexel

Rexel achieves an EcoVadis Gold medal   This ranks Rexel in the top percentile of EcoVadis-assessed companies, highlighting our dedication to sustainable business practices.   At Rexel, sustainability is not just a goal; it's a part of who we are with our purpose of electrifying solutions that make a sustainable future possible.   Our strategy is to fight climate change, foster a diverse, inclusive workplace and be a preferred partner while upholding high standards of ethical conduct and a compliance culture.    This achievement reflects the combined efforts of our employees worldwide and underscores our commitment to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.    #RexelSustainability #EcoVadisGold

Two years ago we asked Rexel's 27,000 employees to define our purpose.   Since then 8 words serve as a compass for Rexel's teams: Electrifying Solutions that make a Sustainable Future Possible.   Was Rexel looking for meaning?    No. We wanted to define our purpose for two reasons:   ➡️ To ensure alignment at a time when we were navigating two major business transformations: that of digital and AI which was well underway; and that of electrification and the energy transition, which had just begun.   ➡️ To encourage the commitment and enthusiasm of our employees in a highly decentralized business, in which the 27,000 women and men of Rexel contribute success in the field, and are 81% in favor of their company.   I would like to thank The Why Project for giving me the opportunity to talk about the virtues of this approach at the #GrandForumdelaRaisondEtre.

  Rexel at #VivaTech 2024   Today, Céline Coulibre-Duménil, Rexel's Sustainability Director, took part in a round table discussion on how #climatetech is helping companies manage their transition to net-zero emissions. With increased pressure on companies from all sides - customers, shareholders, employees, partners and regulation such as CSRD - there's a growing need for accurate carbon measurement and reporting tools.   That's where climate tech comes in. To meet robust demand, Rexel has developed a suite of AI-driven tools that help customers understand the carbon impact of different electrical solutions, choose the most environmentally friendly options and track their emissions. These tools include, for example, a Carbon Tracker Dashboard that enables customers to see how the products they use contribute to carbon emissions, EcoScore ratings and an Environmental Footprint Generator for every product Rexel sells.   Rexel's climate tech is also helping raise awareness among suppliers and employees - a great way for Rexel to achieve its purpose of "electrifying solutions that make a sustainable future possible.” BearingPoint, Léo Génin, Geoffrey Marmonier Consortium National du Jeu Vidéo pour l'Environnement. #Rexel #RexelAI #RexelSustainability #RexelCarbonTracker #RexelEcoScore
