Leroy Merlin is a major player in the global DIY market. As the founding company of GROUPE ADEO, Leroy Merlin offers products and solutions for DIY, decoration, construction and gardening. Leroy Merlin is present in 12 countries, with 100 000 co-workers and 400 stores. In 2015 we achieved turnover of more than €15 billion. At Leroy Merlin, we believe that people are the central resource of any business. This commitment has allowed us to be regularly reward by the "Great Place to Work" Institute in different countries. Leroy Merlin as part of GROUPE ADEO is built upon 7 common values: honesty, generosity, mutual respect, closeness, simplicity, consistency and a sense of performance. Team work, initiative and entrepreneurship, as well as passion for people and products, are deeply rooted in our culture. Social and Environmental Responsibility is today our irreversible commitment. What makes Leroy Merlin so special is the autonomy and confidence that is given to each of our local companies. We operate as an international network, sharing core values and best practices on a daily basis. This creates a unique spirit of initiative, and allows us to discover new talents, innovate, and improve constantly. Adapting to local markets and promoting partnerships are key drivers for Leroy Merlin. We believe that it is only by building long-lasting relationships that we can create value for everyone: our customers, co-workers, suppliers, local markets and stakeholders.
