We take note of all the elements of Mr. Castanet’s book, published today, and of his serious allegations that we treat with the utmost seriousness.
Consequently, the Board of Directors, in agreement with the General Management, announces that it has decided to immediately mandate two recognized firms to entrust them with an independent assessment mission on all the allegations reported in this book.
These two firms will have access to all the information from ORPEA and its establishments that they deem necessary. Their names will be communicated in the coming days.
They will present their conclusions to the Board of Directors as soon as possible. These conclusions will also be made available to the competent authorities and will be the subject of a communication.
We continue to affirm that at no time did the Group’s management put in place any system to orchestrate the practices of which it is accused.
We remain at the disposal of all the competent authorities to answer all their requests.
We would like to renew our commitment to the families, residents and collaborators, whose concerns we understand, but also their incomprehension and pain in the face of these allegations.
To receive all of ORPEA’s financial information in real time, send a request by email to [email protected]. Your registration will be immediate.
