“Oscar Wilde said that a cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. In 2023, CDS Group was awarded the gold trophy for Growth Companies in the
the category of BtoB services with more than 70 million euros, awarded by the Ficade group. I would like to come back to the meaning of such an award for the CDS Group and Goelett teams. This prize does not only reward the economic growth, but also the resilience of a company which, in the difficult context of the health crisis, was able to rely on its values to ensure its development. Within the 8 values of our group, I would like to put three of them in the spotlight, in addition to the transparency that I mentioned in our last Business Travel Booklet. The first one, sustainability, is based on a long-term concern and on building trust and loyalty with our partners and employees. The second one, transversality, involves finding cross-disciplinary solutions to the problems posed by our clients, but also of establishing open relationships with all the players in the business travel industry in order to strengthen our ecosystem. Finally, the third one, ethics, implies maintaining a demanding guideline in the company’s choices and decisions. Beyond this award, I would like to pay tribute to the value of our teams, our partners, our customers and the board that supports me in the group’s strategy.
