Equans launches its Foundation to fight against energy poverty and provide training in energy-related jobs for individuals who are far from employment

Faithful to the Bouygues Group's historical values of solidarity, Equans announces the launch of the Equans Foundation in France. It will support projects to combat energy poverty and to train people far from employment for jobs in the energy and services sector jobs.

MISSION 1: Fighting energy poverty 

Over the last five years, energy prices have increased sharply, which has exacerbated energy poverty. The Foundation's mission is to carry out and finance projects that provide the most impacted people, and the associations supporting them, with essential energy systems to eat hot, keep warm, preserve food and ensure hygiene. These projects will benefit from skills sponsorship. Equans will place the skills of its teams at the disposal of its Foundation and give a second life to recycled materials and equipment. 

MISSION 2: Supporting training in the energy, and related service sectors for people who are far from employment

The Foundation's second mission is to support training in the energy, and related service professions, for people who are far from employment. This will take the form of grants to students for initial training or retraining, with no age limit for beneficiaries, and personal support from a company sponsor. These training courses will be provided by specialised organisations, with which the Foundation will structure partnerships for the benefit of the students.
