A world tour of our initiatives this summer

This summer, our teams’ mobilization supported 436 child beneficiaries across 6 different countries, thanks to the dedication of 51 employee volunteers engaged alongside seven non-profit partners. From the Porta Vitae Foundation in Poland to Saigon Children and the Vietnam Children’s Fund in Vietnam, as well as Srdce na dlanie in the Czech Republic, the Rodiny Trnava Center in Slovakia, the Vincent de Paul Association in France, and Inimi Noi in Romania, these organizations deploy a comprehensive range of actions to protect, support, and empower vulnerable youth.

On the ground, these initiatives translate into meaningful opportunities for connection and shared experiences. Whether coordinating facility tours, handing out end-of-year gifts, organizing friendly competitions, or sharing meals, the involvement of our teams, accompanied by their loved ones and client partners, remains the driving force behind this social commitment, providing children with a caring, structured, and promising environment.

In France, Dons Solidaires stands out as a leading figure in in-kind sponsorship and the fight against social exclusion. Our logistical support for this organization is concretely manifested through the provision of storage space and the donation of professional equipment and products.

Over the summer, 6 of our employees from the Fontenay site mobilized as volunteers to process a shipment of six pallets of pens for the association. From reception to order preparation and specific packaging, our volunteers orchestrated each logistical phase to ensure the optimal delivery of this contribution.

In Spain, the Red Cross organizes the annual “Sorteo de Oro”, a large-scale solidarity lottery designed to finance its social initiatives throughout the territory. The proceeds facilitate a wide range of local projects, including support for the elderly and families in precarious situations, emergency aid, job placement, and the safeguarding of children.

To champion this mission, 3 of our colleagues at the Illescas facility volunteered during the summer to manage a ticket sales point. Their committed participation led to the distribution of 400 tickets, ensuring that all revenue was fully allocated to the association to bolster its humanitarian activities.

In Brazil, the Pescar Foundation is fully committed to the integration of young people from vulnerable backgrounds. Through strategic partnerships with the corporate world, it promotes their personal and civic development while offering them practical vocational training programs to build their future.

Recently, this commitment was highlighted by a key event celebrating both the graduation of 10 students completing their program and the arrival of 10 new youth joining the upcoming class. In fact, these new arrivals took the lead in organizing and running a tailored activity for our teams. On Environment Day, 65 of our employees from the São Paulo facility took part alongside these 10 beneficiaries in an eco-friendly activity. The program included a quiz and discussions on zero waste, raising awareness among participants about the importance of daily actions to protect our planet.
