Comments from the CEO

Portrait d'Enrique Martinez.

Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty

Fnac Darty is a European leader in the omnichannel retail with 1,500 stores worldwide.

We have a workforce of 30,000 employees, who are widely recognized for their passion and expertise. This highly dedicated community of professionals is a tremendous asset and we are proud to have helped foster a common corporate culture within it.

Since the launch of our Everyday strategic plan in 2021, the world has undergone major changes: a war in Europe, the return of inflation, the questioning of the stability of the global system… Despite these challenges, Fnac Darty has succeeded in consolidating its leadership position thanks to the strength of its omnichannel model, its transformation towards services and its innovation capability. 

Our ambition today is clear: to reinforce this leadership position on a European scale, to put circularity at the heart of our business model, to redefine the customer experience and invest in new channels and growth segments, and to develop services for third parties by monetizing our assets. 

With Beyond everyday, the strategic plan unveiled in June 2025, the Fnac Darty Group is now looking ahead to 2030.  

This plan builds on the momentum generated by Everyday, which enabled us to transform the Group towards a more omnichannel, service-oriented and sustainable model. A model that we have proven to be resilient and profitable. With Beyond everyday, we are pursuing these three priorities and far beyond, to redefine retail standards and go beyond the boundaries of our role as a traditional retailer. 

Faced with unprecedented human, economic, ecological and technological challenges, we have an ambitious roadmap, with which we aim to reinforce our leadership in Europe by leveraging our new dimension since the acquisition of Unieuro, which takes us past €10.5 billion in sales. 

Beyond everyday is a plan to conquer new audiences, new channels and new ways of interacting with our customers, both private and professional, including the deployment of third-party services. It’s a plan that positions us ideally to capture the opportunities offered by new cycles of technological innovation and new business models.  

It’s a plan that also reaffirms the central role of the store in the customer experience and customer journey. We will be opening 150 new stores over the period, renovating more than 200, and developing new offers and new experiences. 

It’s a plan with which we want to meet the growing demand for services, covering all consumers’ home and leisure needs. To be an expert for all home needs. 

Responsible commerce, a need for services, and a customer experience that must reinvent itself to be ever more fluid, conversational and unified across all channels: this is our vision. 

The success of Beyond everyday will be based on the talent of our 30,000 employees, their expertise and their commitment to serving customers, as well as on the strength and leadership of our brands and the trust they inspire. This goes hand in hand with our commitment to responsibility and our ability to move the boundaries of our industry. 

Beyond everyday sets out to define the retail standards of tomorrow. It is a call to action to inspire responsible, sustainable commerce that matters.  
 

Partners, employees, customers, members… Together we make Fnac Darty’s mission a reality, towards “informed choice and sustainable consumption”. 
 

Thank you all for your trust in us every day! 

Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty
