child. In the framework of the 'Warmste Week' (Warmest Week), the Worldliners in Belgium also ran in support of a charity (Stichting Alzheimer Onderzoek and Konekt) during one of the races taking place between December 18 and 23, 2019. Different social actions are conducted during this week to support charitable causes. In France, Worldline has been a faithful partner of the Téléthon for almost 20 years, providing its multi-channel secure payment gateway for donations made by credit cards online or by mobile devices free of charge all year long. This great solidarity initiative is possible due to employee involvement: approximately 40 volunteers help make the event a success every year. In Spain, three volunteers also participated in 2019 to several workshops to help women who suffered cancer. After their disease, these women were unemployed for a long period of time and needed an empowerment to return to labor market. The activity consisted in a “speed networking”. Worldline Iberia employees also continued to support and participated once more to the event organized by the Adecco Foundation in 2019: the “Carrera de las Capacidades”, aiming to "The social and labor integration of people with disabilities". The event was attended by the honorary presidency of the Kings of Spain and the participation of the Minister of Employment, Migration and Social Security. The event was the opportunity to present the Alliance #CEOPorLaDiversidad, of which Worldline is part in Spain.

If a project is selected by the jury, employees are allowed some time to contribute to it during their work time and 30 days were offered by Worldline in 2019.
