The LEGALLAIS company Foundation
Together in solidarity
In November 2010, LEGALLAIS decided to create its Corporate Foundation with a real desire to strengthen its commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. In connecting the associative and corporate worlds, the company strives to develop a solidarity initiative in support of the general interest.
France is particularly active in the associative field and has over one and a half million structures, 14% of which are involved in social and humanitarian action. It is this sector that the LEGALLAIS Foundation has chosen to support in order to achieve greater inclusion of vulnerable populations. It focuses its actions on projects involving employability, vocational training, passing on of trades skills, accommodation and access to housing. “A roof and a job” sums up the LEGALLAIS Foundation’s DNA.
The Foundation’s approach is based on support; it wants to give project leaders the means to achieve their aims, while ensuring their self-sufficiency and the independence of their actions. It does not assist but rather builds jointly, leaving to its beneficiaries the entire responsibility of managing their project. The Foundation conducts its activities in accordance with the ethical principles set out in the Admical corporate sponsorship charter.
“For more than 10 years now, the Foundation has been working through its volunteers and the LEGALLAIS company’s commitment. This tremendous surge of solidarity does not dry up and each year new projects are supported and new volunteers join us. I would like to thank them all as the social and solidarity economy needs these good wills. With them, anything is possible!” – Gérard Anfroy, Chair of the LEGALLAIS Corporate Foundation.
Since its creation, the LEGALLAIS Foundation has financed 440 projects for a total of €1,355,595 as of 31 December 2023.
