AMPLIFY 2030: Apave Group launches its five-year strategic plan and targets revenues of 3 billion euros by 2030

To address this new phase of growth, Apave has set itself ambitious objectives for 2030:

• Reach a turnover of €3 billion by the end of 2030.
• Average organic growth of 6.5% per year.
• Continuation of the proactive external growth strategy, focusing on priority sectors and regions.
• Improved operating margin by 3 percentage points.
• Customer NPS (Net Promoter Score) above 45, along with continued growth in employee engagement levels.
• 15% reduction in carbon footprint by 2030 (vs. 2022) and commitment to SBTi trajectory.
  
  

This strategic vision, approved by the Board of Directors at the end of 2025, aims to amplify the current momentum and consolidate the Apave Group as a world leader in industrial and operational risk management, recognized for the excellence of its expertise.

AMPLIFY 2030 is structured around five strategic priorities:

• Accelerate growth in France and internationally, based on a sustained and targeted external growth strategy.
• Make performance and excellence a key differentiating factor.
• Embed the Group's growth in long-term customer satisfaction.
• Make employee engagement and employee experience key drivers of sustainable transformation.
• Take action for a more responsible future.

The Apave Group intends to significantly accelerate its development by combining sustained organic growth with a resolutely proactive external growth strategy, even more ambitious than that pursued over the past five years.

The Group's investments will be mainly focused on:

• High-potential geographic areas: Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East;
• Strategic sectors facing growing risks: industry, infrastructure and construction, energy, transportation and defense, where the management of industrial and operational risks has become a crucial factor.

In an uncertain global environment, excellence is a key lever for medium-term resilience. The Apave Group intends to make excellence a core element of its reputation by sustainably strengthening its economic, commercial and operational performance. Faced with customers facing increasingly complex industrial and operational challenges, the Group will rely on an organization that is more global and robust, but also more local and agile, capable of supporting sustainable performance.

This ambition will be based on the pursuit of excellence in the execution of contracts with its customers, the reinforcement of the value of the Group's expertise, and greater use of digital tools and artificial intelligence to simplify and optimize processes and operations.

Customer satisfaction is the basis of the Group's loyalty and sustainable growth. This is why Apave places the quality of the customer relationship at the heart of its strategy, supporting each customer, both in France and internationally, at every stage of their projects and daily operations.

As part of the AMPLIFY 2030 plan, the Group will enhance the customer experience to make it more responsive and seamless, in particular by developing digital services that make it easier to follow up on services and build lasting relationships based on trust and value creation.

In a context of strong growth and internationalization, employee engagement is an essential lever for performance and development. Apave will continue to invest sustainably in skills and knowledge development, based on a strong and unifying corporate culture.

The Group will structure even more attractive career paths, continue to promote internal mobility and pursue initiatives already underway to improve individual and collective performance recognition, in particular through value-sharing programs. Apave also reaffirms its commitment to a more modern and inclusive work environment that favors the fulfillment and sustainable engagement of its teams.

The Apave Group will expand its commitment to generate a positive and measurable impact, balancing economic performance and extra-financial responsibility at all levels of its activities. This ambition will focus on three priorities:

• People: health and safety everywhere and for everyone, unwavering ethics on a day-to-day basis, and a more inclusive company, encouraging women's access to technical fields;
• Planet: reduce carbon emissions and strengthen energy efficiency throughout the Group and its facilities.
• Partners: accelerating the sale of "green and social" solutions to support their customers in their own ecological transition plans.

These commitments are translated into concrete actions, both globally and locally, supported by the entire management team. All operational and functional entities are mobilized to successfully achieve this common goal.
