Company Achievements & Role as Entrepreneur
Sharing about his success, the first thing is the achievement in human resources (sustainable "PEOPLE"). Decathlon Vietnam is now, known as one of the biggest sourcing offices in the sourcing industry, with above five hundred direct teammates, one hundred suppliers, and one hundred thousand indirect teammates. For the years he leads the company, the Vietnam teammate’s satisfaction has been always above the average of Decathlon Group, with the majority of the teammates saying they are having pleasure at work.
The outstanding results in sustainable development (sustainable "PLANET") of Decathlon Vietnam confirmed his priority in leading his team to responsible growth that benefits both people and the planet, acting within a regenerative economy. For example, in 2021, 100% of electricity consumed in stores of Decathlon Vietnam came from renewable sources, while it was 42% on production sites. Ecodesign products in Vietnam were above Decathlon global. Second-hand products are available on Decathlon's retail website. The company also commits to reaching Zero single-use plastic by 2026. In the first semester of 2022, there has been an amazing increase in biomass usage to replace coal which is double in 2021.
Mr. Adenot was the one who led the first retail store openings in Taiwan and also in Vietnam, where two sports mega stores were opened in the same year, which is a brave decision for an emerging market like Vietnam. After three years of joining the Vietnam retail market, Decathlon Vietnam now has five sports stores. Decathlon Vietnam is also the second biggest production country among Decathlon Global Production for years and is serving seventeen markets globally. This sustainable growth (sustainable "PROFIT") has helped the company go through challenges in the VUCA world.
Vision, Mission, & Future Plans
Mr. Adenot's vision is to lead the Decathlon Vietnam project to achieve the Decathlon Group vision, with five targets, “DECATHLONIANS are your partners for health, for a better quality of life. We promote a mindful way of living through sports”; “DECATHLONIANS enable clean & healthy transport”; “DECATHLONIANS are 100% Local Living orientated, and globally connected”; “DECATHLONIANS strive for responsible growth that benefits both people and the planet, acting within a regenerative economy”; “DECATHLONIANS are fully inclusive and open to all, we reflect the society that we want to be a part of”.
His mission for the Vietnam project is to change lives through sport in Vietnam & elsewhere.
He aims to bring a positive impact to 1,000 direct teammates, 100,000 indirect teammates and 10,000,000 sports users. For Lionel Martial Adenot, people must be always at the heart of the company and it is also a must to push stronger company involvement into the environment to reach an upper level.
