Corporate governance

Groupe Steria has set up a particularly innovative and unique governance system designed to help the company distinguish itself from the competition and to develop and enhance its appeal. This governance system uses the legal structure of a limited share partnership (Société en Commandite par Actions) under French law (SCA) in an original way where the General Partner is a simplified stock company called Soderi, which represents exclusively the Group employee shareholders.

The idea is to use the legal structure of the Société en Commandite par Actions to enable employees who have decided to become shareholders of their company to participate in the governance of their company.

This governance system aims to promote entrepreneurial spirit amongst Group employees insofar as it constitutes a significant advantage in a service activity where the company’s main asset is its "human capital". It encourages the involvement and commitment of employees as well as being a significant asset to the Group’s appeal in the labor market.

It enables the Group to offer existing and future employees the opportunity to become involved in a project that goes far beyond their job at the company. Such a project involves an entrepreneurial dimension that encourages employee shareholders to participate in defining the Group’s strategy.
