The Bolloré Group’s philanthropy policy
“Solidarity today, Together tomorrow”
Solidarity and entrepreneurship are fundamental values of the Bolloré Group. They nourish its desire to support people, their ideas and their ability to implement them. Every year, the Group donates part of what it has been fortunate enough to receive to solidarity initiatives in a spirit of responsibility, sharing values and sustainable commitment.

A historic commitment to the public interest
The Group has been supporting projects with a major social impact for many years through its international solidarity programme. Between 2019 and 2024, the EarthTalent programme supported more than 1,600 solidarity projects, helping to improve the lives of more than 130,000 people.
These actions were joint efforts by the Group, its employees and a broad network of charity partners, with a ceaseless focus on the social impact, ethics and regional integration of the supported projects.

A new ambition for 2025–2030
As a major transformation phase comes to an end at the Group, the philanthropy policy is evolving into a corporate project that is even more targeted and oriented towards high-impact long-term actions.
This new approach aims to strengthen human connections in an increasingly fragmented world by supporting initiatives that can tackle major contemporary societal challenges and produce measurable, sustainable results.

Clearly defined areas of intervention
The Bolloré Group is now focusing its action on five priority areas, chosen for their ability to create social cohesion and meet people’s basic needs:
HEALTH AND DISABILITY: Maintain connections with people who are vulnerable due to illness or disability, promote their inclusion and support relevant organisations.
ENVIRONMENT: Recreate the link between people and their environment and support local measures to protect the living world.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING: Pass on knowledge and create links between generations and give everyone the tools to find their place in society.
FIGHTING EXCLUSION: Break the isolation of the most vulnerable (the elderly, the homeless, etc.) and promote their integration into society.
EMERGENCIES AND FOOD AID: Rebuild close links by providing solidarity and dignity to those who need it most.

Contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals
Through its philanthropy policy, the Bolloré Group is fully in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and contributes in particular to quality education (SDG4), good health and well-being (SDG3), reduced inequalities (SDG10) and environmental protection (SDG13).

A responsible and collective approach
The Group’s philanthropy is based on rigorous project selection using social impact, transparency, ethics and regional integration as criteria. It combines financial support, employee commitment and lasting partnerships with stakeholders in the field to maximise the impact of initiatives and establish long-term solidarity.
This is achieved by running skills volunteering missions via an internal platform, organising solidarity-based team-building sessions during which employees come together to support a charity, and holding regular solidarity-based collections within the Group, helping to strengthen team cohesion and improve the social impact of the measures taken.

Combating exclusion and encouraging civic engagement
Founded in 1998 on the initiative of Vincent Bolloré, la Fondation de la 2e Chance has been recognized for its public utility since 2006. The aim of la Fondation de la 2e chance is to help people aged 18 to 62 who have faced extreme hardship in life and who presently live in a vulnerable situation, but who have a real desire to get their lives back on track. In addition to fund-raising, the Foundation offers these people human and financial support (up to 8 thousand euros for business start-up/rescue projects, and 5 thousand euros for training projects) to bring realistic and sustainable business projects to fruition: vocational training, business start-ups or business rescues. This financial “leg-up” is accompanied by professional and emotional sponsoring provided to the project owner, until the project reaches a successful conclusion.
The Foundation’s ongoing activities are supported in particular over a network of 1,000 volunteers deployed throughout metropolitan territory.
In 2015, la Fondation de la 2e chance was re-awarded the IDEAS Label. This label is recognized and trusted by donors, and establishes respect among non-profit organizations for the implementation of best practice in relation to corporate governance, financial management and monitoring efficiency.

A new solidarity initiative by the Bolloré Group
This former home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, built in 1896 and located at rue de Varize in the 16th arrondissement in Paris, was completely refurbished between 2012 and November 2015. Today, it has more than 160 beds, mainly used by young students from French provinces and from abroad, but also provides rooms for young people suffering from illness and the elderly. In 2017, this space will accommodate the Fondation de la 2e chance.
