The Management Committee also holds meetings dedicated to the "Quarterly Business Reviews" (QBRs) during which its members welcome senior executives from the main entities of the Group. They present the performance of their operations and the progress status of their key projects using defined quantifiable standards of measurement which are common to all entities of the Group.

The Partners group

The Management Committee is supported by a Partners group. Its principal mission is to review and define the Group's strategy.
