Crédit Agricole S.A.
Crédit Agricole S.A. launched the Solidaires programme in response to employees’ desire to get involved in charities.
In 2008, Crédit Agricole S.A. launched the Solidaires Helping Hand programme, based on awareness that many employees volunteer for charities outside their work hours.
Keen to support this volunteer commitment, Crédit Agricole S.A. launched this programme of financial support to encourage and promote these community initiatives. Every year, around twenty charity projects are supported by Solidaires Helping Hand.
In June 2012, Crédit Agricole S.A. and other entities of the Crédit Agricole Group held the Solidaires Days. That was the first week of collective involvement in community projects.
During the week, everyone contributed to the group’s effort, by taking part in contests and events, proceeds from which were donated to partner charities.
At the Solidaires Days in 2012, volunteer assignments were launched. This programme puts employees who want to offer time or skills in touch with charities that need people.
In 2013, there were around 1,500 employees registered on the Solidaires website.
Since the launch, many entities have joined the group’s Solidaires approach. Find out about the programme in the Solidaires tab of Crédit Agricole Group website.
