Our purpose:
GROWING UP TOGETHER

GROUPE BAELEN from the outset, has been able to define a long-term guiding principle which gives it its backbone and its dynamics.

 

This purpose is clear and straightforward: GROWING UP TOGETHER.

 

GROWING UP TOGETHER is a true reflection of who we are and what we want to do: empowering our teams and our companies to grow, to go further in a solid and fulfilling way.

 

Our support is intellectual (observation of the environment of our subsidiaries, analysis of the organization, assistance in the strategy), financial (resources for development) but especially human with the objective that our teams thrive and progress in their functions.

We remain committed to the autonomy and the commitment of our leaders which are the guarantee of a responsible GROWING UP TOGETHER.


GROWING UP TOGETHER also means building in the very long-term: Groupe Baelen's vocation is not to resell its shareholdings but to keep and develop them by making time an ally.
