NEOS

NEOS takes its inspiration from the ancient Greek word meaning ‘new’ and conveys the message of a new step in the Group’s development.

Concretely, NEOS is made of daily actions and the contributions of every employee in their entities. Some of these actions constitute specific projects (“NEOS Initiatives”). They are monitored through specific project management governance.

With NEOS, the Group will be able to deliver a long-term performance and will be more connected to its stakeholders as well as more innovative.
