INVOLVING LOCAL REGIONS IN DIALOGUE AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN
The fourth edition of the “ RDV de l’Entrepreneuriat ”, co-organised with the Orly International association, mobilised 80 partners and welcomed 230 visitors. The Business Creation Awards designated 10 finalists and three winners. The need to exchange know-how between young entrepreneurs generated a project to create an exchange club for the winners. Commitment to helping local populations Policy and objectives Since its creation in 2015, the Groupe ADP Corporate Foundation has embodied the Company’s desire to l ink economic development and commitment to serving its local and human environment. It supports general interest projects in the regions where Groupe ADP operates in France, around its three main Paris airports and internationally. Its guiding principle is “Education”, through the fight against illiteracy and the prevention of school dropouts among disadvantaged groups. Thanks to the diversity of the partnerships forged with the local non-profit organisations, young people can learn more easily. From pre-school preparation to middle school, programmes adapted to each age enable them to give meaning to school. The work carried out upstream facilitates their choice in their future career plans. Indeed, through various Group employee involvement programmes, in connection with the projects supported by the Foundation, young people have the opportunity to discover jobs in the aviation sector but also to learn about culture. As for adults, and still largely thanks to the involvement of the Group’s employees, they can reacquire basic knowledge and fundamentals; key skills for social and professional success. To
make this ecosystem work, which aims to eradicate illiteracy in its regions, the Groupe ADP Foundation is steered by a Board of Directors which determines the Foundation’s orientations and ensures its proper management. A Selection Committee, chaired and composed mainly of external personalities, meets at least once a year to analyse the application files for support in the areas of intervention covered by the Foundation’s Articles of Association and to set the subsidy amounts. 2021 achievements and results The COVID crisis has not hampered the dynamism of the structures supported, which continue to create links with the population, while adapting to the new health measures imposed. To ensure that basic learning is no longer a barrier to the social and professional integration of young people and adults, the Foundation is stepping up its actions, sometimes reaching out to residents, thanks to immersion projects in the heart of neighbourhoods. Its scope of intervention, which was extended during the renewal of the five-year plan to other factors of school dropout such as the digital divide and school bullying, enabled new projects to be born. In 2021, the Foundation received an endowment of €1.5 million; it was able to support 51 projects, 86% of which were allocated locally and 14% internationally, mainly in Madagascar where the need for education is growing.
