A common thread: developing a collective commitment
Our work is based on sharing and learning, so that the solutions we provide best meet the needs of our partner organisations’ needs and strengthen their capacity for action. Artelia’s volunteers and our partner organisations share the same determination to provide beneficiaries with concrete answers and solutions.
Support
Through its two volunteering schemes – solidarity leave and skills-based philanthropy – the Artelia Foundation offers to make the skills and expertise of Artelia volunteers available to organisations for projects they are implementing around the world.
International mission
International assignments enable Artelia volunteers to put their skills and expertise to work for projects serving the public interest around the world. In accordance with the arrangements defined by the Artelia Foundation, the commitment time is shared equally, with 50% carried out during working hours and 50% during paid leave. Mission-related expenses are covered by the Foundation.
Local mission
Local assignments enable Artelia volunteers to put their skills and expertise at the service of public-interest projects led by non-profit organizations located close to their workplace. Engagement takes place during working hours, in accordance with the arrangements defined by the Artelia Foundation.
Remote mission
Remote assignments enable Artelia volunteers to put their skills and expertise at the service of public-interest projects directly from their workstation, regardless of where the project is located. In accordance with the arrangements defined by the Artelia Foundation, the engagement is carried out entirely during working hours.
One-off mission
These one-off assignments allow Artelia volunteers to contribute on an occasional basis to meet a specific need of a partner NGO, with no particular skills or expertise required. For a one-day assignment, the engagement time is divided equally, with 50% carried out during working hours and 50% during paid leave.
Financing
Social and environmental issues are closely linked. The Artelia Foundation participates in the financing of non-profit projects in its three areas of focus: development aid, environmental protection, social and professional integration. This funding primarily concerns projects supported by Artelia employees.
Through its emergency fund, the Artelia Foundation also provides assistance and protection to vulnerable people and meets the basic needs of populations affected by natural disasters or conflict (access to water and sanitation, food, shelter and medical care).
Raising awareness
Special events are organised internally by the Artelia Foundation to mobilise Artelia Group employees around its values and commitments. The aim is to make as many people as possible aware of the various social and environmental causes supported by the Foundation and to encourage them to take action. Our ambition is to contribute to the Artelia Group's response to social, economic and environmental issues. By informing and raising awareness among the employees involved, we hope to encourage and support changes in behaviour.
