A New Deal for the Benefit of our Clients

AG2R LA MONDIALE is committed to a redefining transformation plan coined ‘Nouvelle Donne’ (‘New Deal’), which places our clients at the core of our actions and decisions and aims at reinforcing the Group’s abilities to cope with a more challenging environment while seizing every profitable growth opportunity.
To do so, the Plan sets out eight distinct objectives. A significant IT overhaul, a genuine omnichannel distribution model as well as a leaner organization and processes will yield increased client satisfaction and improved employee engagement. The restructuring of our Protection & Health division, a focus on expanding our profitable businesses as well as forays in meaningful new businesses and services will strengthen the Group’s financial trajectory.

Concrete efforts and impact towards this transformation started on May 2nd, 2022 under the leadership of a new executive team, among whom a new CEO (Bruno Angles) to spearhead the overall effort, a new CIO to oversee the Plan’s critical digital component and a new General Secretary in charge of reinforcing the Group’s compliance. On that very day, a ‘chair for the client’ was symbolically placed in all the Company’s meeting rooms to emphasize our renewed focus on customer satisfaction. And a Shadow ExCo, composed of the 16 brightest managers under 40 of age, was set up to steer innovation and challenge the thinking of the Group’s leadership.

The governing bodies of AG2R LA MONDIALE largely adopted the Plan’s various components, including a new framework and set of rules for all the Group’s entities on May 25th, 2022, the restructuring of the Protection & Health division on June 9th, 2022, and the IT & Digital roadmap which involves a 630m-EUR investment plan over a 6-year period in December 2022. The transformation plan was itself unanimously voted for in October 2022.

The Plan’s immediate implementation has led to concrete results materializing very rapidly:

– The turnaround of the Protection & Health division has been spectacular, with the division’s net result moving from a 70m-EUR loss in 2021 to achieved breakeven H1 2023. In addition, we managed to reduce overhead costs by 70m EUR. These two major achievements led the French regulator to terminate its reinforced supervision of the Group, which had been initiated back in 2017, as early as April 19th, 2023.

– Our digital capabilities are being significantly enhanced with the delivery of already more than 130 major items, including a brand new 360¡ Customer Vision tool.

– A landmark partnership with MAIF, a leading P&C insurer in France, signed on April 11th, 2023, opens new distribution channels for our products and allows us to offer a fully-fledged insurance product range to our clients.

– Employee engagement has significantly improved and now displays an exceptional level of buy-in, with 3 out 4 employees stating they agree with and have confidence in the Group’s strategy.

– And the Plan is praised by rating agencies: S&P has now twice confirmed our ‘A stable outlook’ grade, underlining an exceptional level of liquidity but also the expected benefits that ‘Nouvelle Donne’ will yield for the Group.

At the same time, we have delivered stellar environmental and social performances, rewarded by 7 trophies throughout the year and by AG2R LA MONDIALE ranking top among French insurers for ESG performance.

Overall, ‘Nouvelle Donne’ and its execution showcase the Group’s intention and ability to achieve rapidly a massive step change for the sole interest of our clients. To this end, we are fully committed to pursue our efforts to grow and improve our business with a strong focus on delivering best-in-class solidarity and sustainability policies.
