EURAZEO’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Societal information

Foster the commitment of young graduates and provide school equipment In 2017, Eurazeo continued its commitment to Teach for France, an association promoting an original idea for greater equality in schools. The association offers young volunteer graduates the possibility to fill vacancies in schools located in priority education networks for periods of two years. The class of 2017-2018 includes 53 students, who have joined junior high schools in the Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne departments, thereby reaching approximately 6,300 students. For the second consecutive year, the Les cartables garnis (Full school bags) initiative, set up with Agence du Don en Nature (ADN) allowed Eurazeo to donate essential school supplies for the 2017 school year to more than 8,000 children from families experiencing great hardship. Lastly, Fondation DFCG and the Fondation Martine Aublet received Eurazeo’s financial support to fund scholarships for students. Eurazeo has also maintained its long-standing commitments to several organizations such as Institut Gustave Roussy, the leading center in the fight against cancer in Europe, and Human Rights Watch, an international NGO whose purpose is to promote and act in favor of the defense of human rights. Virginie Morgon, Chairwoman of Eurazeo’s Executive Board, co-chairs the Human Rights Watch Support Committee in Paris.

Sommet Education establishes regular dialogue and partnerships with stakeholders on its campuses in Switzerland. On the Bulle campus, the company has an annual meeting with the Prefect. On the Bluche campus, regular dialogue is organized with the municipality and the tourist office. The campus, its employees and students also participate in and support local events. Partnership and corporate sponsorship actions Eurazeo, promoting education In the firm belief that education is a fundamental vector for development and a growth driver for the future competitiveness of the economy, Eurazeo began taking initiatives in favor of education in September 2015. Innovative projects developed with NGOs and teachers have been set up in the fields of reading, tutoring, commitment among young teachers and the provision of school materials. The aim shared by these initiatives is to fight against academic failure; all initiatives are subject to regular performance assessment and monitoring. Learning to read and tutoring In view of the importance of good reading skills as a prerequisite for success at school, Eurazeo has provided support for a specific program allowing children to learn to read using a digital application. The project is conducted in partnership with Agir pour l’École. Eurazeo has already financed the equipment of 20 classes of the 19 th arrondissement of Paris, Calais and Evry with educational materials and tablets, allowing more than 1,200 children to benefit from this learn-to-read project since 2015. A second program was developed in the form of a “semi-boarding school” with Apprentis d’Auteuil. It allows pupils to receive personalized help with their homework. Since the start of the 2015-2016 school year, more than 160 pupils have benefited from this unique tutoring.

Photography patronage In 2017, the eighth edition of the Grand Prix, “A photographer for Eurazeo,” took the theme of “Re-enchanting companies.” The competition, created in 2010, rewards the work of a professional or student photographer on a given theme. For over 10 years, Eurazeo has provided support for photography, notably through the acquisition of original works displayed on Eurazeo premises and featured in our Annual Report.

In 2017, Eurazeo and its investments together allocated almost €715,000 to associations and NGOs, supporting a total of 102 organizations. The economic and social unit formed by Asmodee in France partnered with Agence du Don en Nature (ADN) in September 2017. As part of this partnership, Asmodee donated more than 6,000 games.
