Staying independent!
The Coquet-Reinier family once again becomes the sole shareholder of the Onet group's holding company.
We take a closer look at a strategic choice rooted in the Group's desire to be autonomous and independent, and to use its results to provide the means for its own development.
- - Onet
The Onet Group has turned over a new leaf, announcing the departure of its minority shareholder, EMZ. The investment fund is stepping down after five years of successful collaboration.
Our family now holds 99.9% of the Group's capital, with the remainder belonging to current and former employees. For us, this is a virtuous circle that guarantees the Group's independence.
Emilie De Lombarès
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Maintaining the same high standards
Since 2007, the Coquet-Reinier family had opted to retain a minority shareholder. " More than just an investor, we wanted a partner who would provide us with a vision of the market and challenge us. Today, we have this vision thanks to the network of stakeholders we have developed over the last few years. Whether it's the trade federations in which we are deeply involved, networks of entrepreneurs such as Medef's Comex 40, or think tanks such as the Shift Project and the Institut Montaigne, the Group has built a whole system of collective intelligence and openness around itself.
Guaranteeing the Group's future
This transaction gives the Coquet-Reinier family full decision-making autonomy in shaping Onet's future, as well as the investment capacity to support projects or absorb potential difficulties without risk. " We have also rescheduled our debt with our banking pool, secured interest rates and negotiated our financial capacities for possible future acquisition projects", explains Émilie de Lombarès.
Reaffirming the Group's strong, long-term commitment to eco-responsibility
The Onet Group's performance is measured not only by its financial results, but also by its social and environmental impacts. They also determine the financing terms offered by banks. Taking advantage of the refinancing of its debt, Onet has therefore reaffirmed its CSR commitments to the banks: to continue deploying biotechnology and/or eco-labelled products, to reduce the accident frequency rate and to increase the rate of integration of people with disabilities.
The Onet Group's independence gives it the freedom to undertake its business in the service of its customers and with respect for its values.
In particular, it enables us to constantly invest in the skills of our 60,000 employees, who work alongside our customers and partners every day to create better environments for everyone.
