2023 mission audit approved!
March 18, 2024: the Independent Third-Party Organization responsible for verifying the coherence and operational implementation of the Babilou Family Mission submitted its report. Our three auditors from Cabinet Dauge Fidéliance discussed their findings with the Mission Committee. All four of the Mission’s statutory objectives are classed as “achieved”.
The auditors highlighted a number of strengths, including:
• our strong and sincere desire to make a real impact, particularly through Education,
• effective governance as a result of the streamlined Mission Committee, which includes external experts from diverse backgrounds, who are sincerely committed to their role,
• shared aims that have been embedded within all our business units and
establishments, demonstrating a consistent approach to the Mission.
While our journey as a Mission-Driven Company has only just begun, the ITO has urged Babilou Family to continue its efforts by focusing on what makes the organization unique, this force that drives us make an even greater impact. This will help us to simplify our objectives and indicators, for even greater clarity. In addition, including more data and examples from different countries would be useful to demonstrate the consistency of the Mission across the Group.
Over these first few months, we’ve laid the foundations and started working together effectively, having established trust and respect. Now, we need to adopt a more long-term vision, keep pushing boundaries and increase our impact in the coming years.
