The Power of Sport to Shape Future Generations This International Youth Day, we're celebrating the many ways Sonepar companies invest in future generations through sport, mentorship, and community engagement. 🏒 In 2025, Sonepar Canada sponsored 24 local youth sports teams across the communities where its branches operate. With a strong focus on girls' sport, the program helps young athletes develop skills that extend beyond the field. ⚽ Through Sonepar Deutschland GmbH’s sponsorship of Borussia VfL 1900 Mönchengladbach GmbH, young female athletes gained first-hand experience of professional football through Borussia Girls' Day, from training with club coaches to stepping onto the pitch on match day. 🏉 The Group's partnership with CA Brive Rugby's women's rugby team brings associates and young athletes together around shared values including teamwork, respect, perseverance, and leadership. ⚽ As an official sponsor of the Gothia Cup, the world's largest youth football tournament, Sonepar Sverige helps bring young people together through sport. This commitment also extends to inclusion through the Gothia Special Olympics, where Sonepar presented this year's winning trophy. Different initiatives. One shared goal: helping young people build the confidence, skills, and experiences that will support them throughout their lives. #Sonepar #InternationalYouthDay #CommunityImpact  

“Sonepar’s Purpose will be the bridge between our past and our future, directing our roots into a new direction.” Three years ago today, Sonepar unveiled its Purpose to 46,000 associates around the world, during a live keynote led by our President & CEO, Philippe Delpech. Since then, our Purpose, Powering Progress for Future Generations, has guided concrete action across the Group through six Bold Commitments tied directly to our core activities. Our Wired for Good series shines a light on how this action is taking shape around the world: 🔁 Product Circularity in France, in partnership with Nexans. 👨🎓 Continuous Education in Belgium at Cebeo, enabling sales teams and customers to identify and promote sustainable solutions. 🤝 Inclusion in Mexico, supporting people with disabilities in the workplace. 👣 Communities in India, supporting young women in accessing training for job opportunities. Different countries, different challenges, one shared ambition: turning our Purpose into action, every day, across our network and beyond. 🎬 Watch the entire series on our YouTube channel and stay tuned for more! https://lnkd.in/e79RkyGs Sonepar France Sonepar México & Caribe Sonepar India #Sonepar #PoweredByDifference #EnergyTransition #EmpoweringCommunities

With weekly active users up 54% year on year across two continents, the app helps customers in 10 languages to find products, check availability and place orders wherever work takes them. This growth reflects more than adoption. It shows the mobile experience fits the way our customers actually work: saving electrical installers time, staying within reach wherever they are. They keep their project moving from where they stand, taking control with Sonepar.

A major investment in Chile's industrial future ⚡  Sonepar Chile has inaugurated a new Engineering & Services facility in San Bernardo, reinforcing its ability to support customers operating in critical sectors including mining, energy, agribusiness, and infrastructure.

Building Homes and Strengthening Entire communities Our #WiredForGood series continues as we spotlight how Sonepar’s teams around the world bring our Purpose to life one concrete action at a time. 🌎 By 2028, Sonepar intends to create the Sonepar Powering Community Program in every country in which it operates. This program will create and support dedicated educational programs within its ecosystem, provide opportunities for vulnerable people, and offer aid after natural disasters. This commitment brings us today in the United States, where access to affordable housing is becoming an increasing challenge, impacting long-term well-being and economic opportunity. Together with Habitat for Humanity International, our teams in North Charleston are taking action. On the ground, Sonepar associates are helping build homes for veterans. Behind every wall built, a new house rises, a new hope is growing. With a home comes stability, dignity and a future taking shape. By bringing together associates, partners, and local communities, Sonepar contributes to something bigger: empowering people to build their own path forward.

Our Colors Around the World 🌈 As Pride Month draws to a close, we look back on Our Colors Around the World, a moment of visibility, shared voices, and collective learning across Sonepar. Throughout June, our associates shared their stories, their perspectives, and tips on how to become a better ally, bringing our values to life across teams, countries, and cultures. While Pride Month may be coming to an end, our commitment continues. Inclusion remains part of how we lead, how we work, and how we support one another, every day of the year, for all 46,000 of our associates. To everyone who spoke up, took part, or helped bring this campaign to life, and to the teams behind the many events across our network, thank you.  Here are just a few snapshots of the great events that took place worldwide, from a ‘Pride Run’ in Austria, to OneSource Distributors sponsoring a baseball game in California, to training in Spain! #Sonepar #Inclusion #PrideMonth Sonepar Österreich GmbH Sonepar España
