World Education Day: FM Logistic collaborators rally for young people!

On World Education Day on 24 January, FM Logistic collaborators reaffirmed their commitment to future generations. In four countries, our teams left their workplaces to take part in a solidarity initiative to support learning, guidance and personal development for young people. For FM Foundation, these international days are a great opportunity to promote collective social initiatives and bring our commitments to life in a concrete way. Here’s a look back at an initiative focused on knowledge transfer and responsibility.

For collaborators at the Illescas platform, education begins with access to the right tools. In partnership with the NGO Save the Children, the teams identified a crucial need for school supplies and durable containers for 70 beneficiaries.

Collaborators therefore set to work to prepare and deliver a substantial donation of pens, notebooks and glass water bottles bearing the FM Logistic logo. This initiative also highlighted the children’s talent: collaborators offered the 2026 company calendar, whose pages are illustrated with drawings by young people from Save the Children, Egueiro and the Red Cross.

In Slovakia, education took to the field. Collaborators at the Sered platform welcomed five young people from the local orphanage for an educational excursion to the platform.

During the journey, Gabriela Sukupova (HR manager) shared the company’s values and the basics of our business. Once there, production manager Marek Margetiny took over to guide the visitors through the production lines. By explaining how the platform works, the teams gave these young people a behind-the-scenes look at our business.

At the Orléans platform, efforts focused on combating school dropout rates. Site collaborators opened their doors to Year 9 and Year 10 pupils as part of the ‘Parcours Orientation’ project.

The aim? To support these young people, who sometimes feel lost, and help them plan for their future after secondary school. Through site visits and direct exchanges with our collaborators, the pupils were able to discover the reality of the workplace and the diversity of career paths. This hands-on immersion helps transform what is sometimes a passive career guidance process into a real plan for the future, while strengthening the link between the world of business and the world of education.

In India, collaborators rallied together at Don Bosco School to create an educational vegetable garden. By planting fruit and vegetables together, the main objective was educational: to teach children responsibility for maintaining crops. 

This initiative is primarily aimed at autonomy: it is now the children who are responsible for maintaining these crops, learning patience and a sense of commitment as they harvest.
