positioned in markets driven by long-term structural trends. QHSE regulations and standards are proliferating and becoming tougher to meet. Increasingly, certification and inspection activities are being outsourced. Health and environmental protection standards are becoming more stringent. And trade has become global. The growing need for companies to be responsible players in their ecosystems demonstrates the central role of Bureau Veritas in building trust between companies and all their stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Since it was founded in 1828, Bureau Veritas has gradually built up its globally renowned expertise. The market that Bureau Veritas addresses has numerous barriers to entry. Operating certification and approval are mandatory in each country. Service providers must offer a comprehensive range of inspection services (in particular for major clients) and extensive geographical coverage both locally and internationally. They must provide high value-added solutions through first-rate technical expertise and enjoy a reputation of independence and integrity. Bureau Veritas\u2019 success is based on its ability to adjust to new business challenges, whether they are one-off situations or long-term issues.<\/p>\n<p>Wendel has gradually increased its holding in Bureau Veritas. When Wendel made its initial \u20ac25 million investment in 1995, obtaining 19% of the share capital, Bureau Veritas generated annual revenue of less than \u20ac400 million. Wendel then supported the company\u2019s growth until it held 99.2% of the capital in 2004. In 2007, Bureau Veritas was listed on the stock exchange, enabling it to continue its international expansion.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n    data-observer=\"item\"\n    data-animation-type=\"fade\"\n    class=\"module module-slider with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding-\"\n    data-module-image-slider\n>\n        <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-11 swiper-arrows\" data-image-slider=\"arrows\">\n                    <div class=\"nav prev button-prev\" data-image-slider=\"prev\">\n                        <svg\n    class=\"arrow-right-icon\"\n    xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 15 16\"\n>\n    <path\n        d=\"M7.375 0l7.601 7.601-7.601 7.602-1.06-1.06 5.89-5.893H0v-1.5h12.003L6.314 1.06 7.375 0z\"\n    \/>\n<\/svg>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"nav next button-next\" data-image-slider=\"next\">\n                        <svg\n    class=\"arrow-right-icon\"\n    xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 15 16\"\n>\n    <path\n        d=\"M7.375 0l7.601 7.601-7.601 7.602-1.06-1.06 5.89-5.893H0v-1.5h12.003L6.314 1.06 7.375 0z\"\n    \/>\n<\/svg>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div\n                    class=\"column-12 swiper-container\"\n                    data-image-slider=\"swiper\"\n                >\n                    <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                    <div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-image-slider=\"item\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.wendelgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/photo-bv-3-scaled.jpg\"\n                                    alt=\"Photo BV_3\"\n                                \/>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-observer=\"item\" data-animation-type=\"fade\" class=\"module module-title with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding-\">\n        <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-9 title\">\n                    <h2>2026 outlook <\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    data-observer=\"item\"\n    data-animation-type=\"fade\"\n    class=\"module module-text with-margin-top- no-padding- add-bottom-padding- is-center-\"\n>\n    <div class=\"module-content\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"row r-1\">\n                <div class=\"column-8\">\n                    <div class=\"text-content\">\n                        <p class=\"text-align-justify\">Bureau Veritas is starting the third year of its LEAP I 28 strategy with sound market fundamentals.
