Les Echos has published its ranking of the most innovative companies in France.

Innovation is a key driver of growth and success for companies. The Leaders in Innovation ranking, established by Les Echos in partnership with Statista, highlights companies that stand out for their ability to refresh their fields of activity. This list is based on a panel of 7,000 companies with more than 50 employees. Three areas were evaluated: innovation culture, innovation in product or service offerings, as well as innovation in processes and CSR.

Among the most rewarded companies, Rexel ranks first in its sector of activity (wholesale and retail trade). This ranking recognizes the Group’s efforts in terms of innovation, whether in energy efficiency and energy management solutions or in services that foster the development of new electrical uses supported by digitalization.

In 2022, Rexel developed the Carbon Tracker, a solution that provides customers with a detailed analysis of the products’ carbon footprint throughout their life cycle. The Carbon Tracker has received several ESG awards for its innovative nature.

In addition, through its Foundation for a better energy future and its social innovation platform, Rexel supports the development of socially responsible business models in the field of energy efficiency.

Rexel’s commitment to the energy transition, driven by electrification, is thus highlighted, demonstrating the Group’s ongoing efforts to anticipate growing market demand while addressing environmental and social challenges.
