Rexel raises awareness for #sustainability! ? At the AI for the Planet summit in Paris last week, Isabelle Hoepfner-Léger, General Secretary and Sustainable Development Director, shared how AI is driving customer preference for more sustainable products: “Being in the center of the value chain, our role is to ensure that the whole ecosystem is in motion, from our suppliers to our customers. In addition to our physical branches, our strong AI-powered digital presence helps us provide our customers with the information they need to select and buy more sustainable products and services. We also work closely with our suppliers to ensure they provide innovative and low-emission products. We are really impressed with how AI helps us adjust our offer plan and guide our customers day to day.” ? The following day at the AI for Industry by Artefact summit, Guillaume Dubrule, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer, discussed how AI is improving Rexel's customer experience: "We have a 10-20-70 approach to AI for our business. We invest 10% in developing the algorithm, which means building the engine. 20% is connecting the engine to our different systems in the countries, and adapting it to local specificities. And then 70% of the success is personal adoption, which is the most difficult aspect and takes time. With generative AI, we can manage unstructured data such as customer demands in emails, specific questions on our webshops or requests for quotations. Making sure you can handle customer needs in the most efficient way can save time, enabling us to focus on bringing more value. In line with our commitment to environmental concerns, we also use AI to calculate customers' carbon emissions and provide these elements as a differentiating service to our customers."

What can a record-breaking mountaineer teach business leaders? Resilience. Sophie Lavaud, a record-breaking mountaineer and Himalayan climber, is the definition of resilience. And today, she shared her inspiring journey with Rexel's CEO?Guillaume Texier, Chief Strategy Officer Nour Mejri and hundreds of the company's business leaders at Rexel's?Best Practice Forum. Designed to engage leaders in strategic topics and encourage learning, this latest Best Practice Forum took a deep dive into resilience. As Sophie's experience showed us, when your environment is continually changing and presenting new challenges, true grit is what enables you to reach new heights. For organizations, finding ways to build resilience means setting out on a sure path to grow and thrive. Sophie Lavaud earned her title as the "112,000 Lady" in June 2023 after becoming the first French climber, the first Canadian climber and the first Swiss woman to have reached all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter summits. Having achieved her dream, she is now helping women, especially in Nepal and Pakistan, achieve theirs. This year, as an ambassador of Swiss charity Terre des hommes, she is supporting a new project, Prayaas, aimed at improving maternal and newborn healthcare. She is also an accomplished public speaker and consultant for the Future21 coaching institute (www.sophielavaud.com). #RexelResilience #RexelPowerUpForum
