Groupe E, a Swiss energy firm, is undergoing a significant reorganization aimed at streamlining its operations and reducing expenditures. The company announced a new restructuring plan that will take effect on January 1, 2027.

The reform will see the management committee shrink from nine to six members. This change is expected to lead to the elimination of 12 to 16 executive positions and an additional 10 to 15 other jobs. Details regarding the affected employees will be finalized by September, with those impacted receiving support through an existing social plan.

Alain Sapin, CEO of Groupe E, stated that these measures represent the "ultimate step" in the reorganization that began last year. He explained that the company currently has an "over-resourced structure" and needs to establish order, increase agility, and lower operating costs. Sapin, who was confirmed in his role last September, emphasized the necessity of these changes for the company's future efficiency and financial health.
