Agathe Monpays, who became Directrice Générale of Leroy Merlin France in 2023, delivered her first public speech at a store in Massy. She addressed Agnès Pannier-Runacher, the French Minister for Energy Transition, and other stakeholders at an event focused on energy renovation. Monpays described energy renovation as a complex, global project encompassing social, economic, health, and ecological issues, and stated that it cannot be tackled alone. Monpays said that Leroy Merlin customers often do not directly mention energy renovation or energy poverty, but instead express concerns about comfort, lower bills, access to subsidies, product performance, and the difficulty of managing renovation projects. She asserted that Leroy Merlin's conviction is that no single entity can address this complexity alone, and that collaboration among trained employees, skilled artisans, associations, and public authorities is necessary. Monpays noted that the company has for several years viewed its role not merely as a product distributor but as a partner in providing solutions to transform French homes, and she committed to working alongside the government to achieve the goal of renovating 700,000 homes by 2030.
