Changes have been made to the Group’s governance to facilitate the implementation of the transformation plan. As a result, Philippe PALAZZI will now be Chairman of Monoprix and Naturalia, to ensure that the strategic choices made by these brands are consistent with the Group’s new positioning.

Alfred HAWAWINI, previously Transformation and Strategy Director for Casino Group, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Monoprix. In this role, he will be responsible for managing Monoprix’s operations and, together with the Monoprix Executive Committee, will roll out the new strategic plan to improve the brand’s operational performance.

Naturalia will now be managed at corporate level, on an equal footing with the Group’s other brands, while continuing to develop and create synergies with all the brands within the Group.

Naturalia CEO Richard JOLIVET will now report to Philippe PALAZZI and work with the brand’s management team to continue the recovery that began a few months ago.

The position of Group Transformation and Strategy Director will not be maintained as such in the Executive Committee, which will now consist of 11 members. The Group’s strategic plan will be implemented by the brands and overseen by a central team.

This new organization will take effect on September 24, 2024.

““Monoprix is now a key brand at Casino Group, valued by its customers and recognized for its social and environmental commitments,” said Philippe PALAZZI. “It is essential that Monoprix is a driving force in the implementation of a new, more integrated organization, which will enable Casino Group to embody the very best in convenience retailing while improving its performance. I am confident that Alfred Hawawini and his Executive Committee will deliver on this mission at Monoprix, drawing on the skills and expertise of its teams. I would like to sincerely thank Guillaume SENECLAUZE for his strong personal commitment and his contribution to the development of the Monoprix brand. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”.”
