Against a backdrop of unprecedented crises in the sector, Sophie Boissard and all the Group's employees have demonstrated their steadfastness and resilience by implementing a long-term business plan that places personalised, high-quality care at its heart. This early renewal testifies to the full confidence of all the directors, both long-standing and those who have recently joined our Board, in the ability of Sophie Boissard, together with her management team, to successfully implement the "At your side" corporate project and the plan to strengthen the financial structure decided on 13 November 2023".

Both the Board and the Group's employees know that they can count on my commitment to our mission of 'taking care of each person's humanity in times of vulnerability'. In the new market environment, I will be working harder than ever to strengthen our Group's economic and operational fundamentals, and to provide it with the means for balanced development that creates value for all our stakeholders.
On the occasion of this renewal of my mandate, I would like to express my gratitude to the Clariane teams for their day-to-day work with patients and residents".
