The Executive Committee’s role is to share information and coordinate actions taken by the Managing Partners.

It assists the Managing Partners, who are members of the Committee, in their duties, which are:

  • determining the Group’s strategy;
  • guiding its development and control;
  • taking the major management decisions required for this and ensuring those decisions are implemented both at the level of the parent company and in the various divisions.

The Managing Partners are also supported by the Enlarged Committee, which is made up of the members of the Executive Committee plus the division senior executives, the Chief Executive Officer of Lagardère News and the General Counsel and Corporate Social Responsibility Director of Lagardère SCA. It meets every month.
