G4S dans le vert mais prêt à se séparer de nombreuses filiales

G4S%20logo%202009%20websafe.jpgG4S est-il convalescent ou toujours en petit forme? Disons que la société est loin d'avoir une forme olympique...

Si l'on en croit Ashley Almanza, le PDG de la société de sécurité, "la transformation de G4S est clairement en cours".

Après bien des déboires, dont ceux des JO et de ses filiales australienne (qui gère les camps de transit et de rétention de clandestins) et sud-africaine (sévices sur des prisonniers dans des prisons gérées par G4S), G4S affiche des résultats positifs: un CA en hausse de 4% et des bénéfices de l'ordre de 85 millions de livres (contre une perte de 94 millions l'an dernier à la même époque).

Et pourtant...! G4S pourrait se séparer (vendre ou fermer) de 15 à 35 filiales ou branches dans le monde. Parmi elles, les moins rentables ou les plus critiquées. On lire ici un article du Telegraph sur ce sujet.

Parmi les filiales dans le collimateur, G4S Government Solutions, filiale américaine qui a pourtant remporté, il y a quelques jours, un contrat fédéral mais à Guantanamo Bay (rien que le nom suscite des critiques virulentes des détracteurs de G4S) :
