Throughout his career, he has successfully led the transformation and development of the companies he has managed, with a constant desire to create sustainable value.

The Governance and Ethics Committee has examined the situation of Mr. Laurent Mignon with regard to his mandates as Chairman of the Executive Board (Président du Directoire) of Wendel, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bureau Veritas and Board member of LVMH. It noted that Wendel is an investment company whose main purpose is to acquire and manage interests in companies. Wendel holds a controlling interest in Bureau Veritas and fully consolidates it.
