But there is a whole thing in the company of orchestration, of excellency, digitalization, but also creative and aspects that are a lot more intangible that need to be put into place in order to have this excellent customer experience. The final thing that I would say is brands are part of people's lives today. And they can give hope or not.

Yes. The North Star produced a whole evolution of the brand for Decathlon, and then that was implemented into an evolved customer experience, not only through the stores online, but also innovating different business models. And one thing that we really put in place was renting equipment secondhand and a lot of different forms of, you know, creating business, but in a different way.

So I'm a deep believer on circularity overall.
