Lagardère set up a stakeholder panel in 2015. This advisory body comprises 13 members (including 12 from outside the Group) who represent the Group’s main priorities, business lines and sectors.
Chaired by the General Management and facilitated by the Sustainable Development and CSR Department, this panel’s meetings have three objectives :
- establishing regular dialogue between Lagardère and its stakeholders at Group level;
- obtaining a better understanding of stakeholders’ perception and expectations of the Group;
- supporting Lagardère’s forward-looking strategy for its main social, environmental and societal priorities.
The panel has already met 11 times since it was first set up. In 2023, a process was undertaken to reconstitute the panel so as to adapt its membership to the Lagardère group’s latest double materiality analysis, carried out in anticipation of the implementation of the European Union’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), to which the Lagardère group will be subject in 2025 with respect to 2024.
