Valeo places great importance on holding frequent meetings with
investors and analysts. These meetings are organized in major
financial centers in Europe, North America and Asia and take various
forms, including one-on-one meetings, group events, conference
calls, themed or general investor conferences, and site visits. In
all, some 400 institutional investors participated in these events,
either individually or in small groups, with one quarter meeting
Valeo’s Chairman.
The objective of the Group’s Investor Relations Department is to
