The Artelia Foundation unveils the 5 winners of its call for projects "Acting for an inclusive energy transition"
The Artelia Foundation is announcing its support for five actors committed to an inclusive energy transition. Our ambition is to support projects that contribute to the fight against energy poverty and promote access to renewable and sustainable energy for vulnerable populations.
The selection committee, made up of an external expert from the Schneider Group and Artelia employees, met in June to select 5 winners from over 40 projects received. In addition to the environmental impact, the jury paid particular attention to the social benefits of the projects. The winners will receive financial support from the Foundation totalling €80,000, as well as technical assistance from Artelia Group volunteers in the form of skills based philanthropy or solidarity leave.
Congratulations to the winners!
