In France and around the world, supplying emergency medical equipment. The CMA CGM Group and its subsidiary CEVA Logistics set up a logistics bridge between China and France in record time to ensure the supply of medical equipment to France. Through several charter flights each week, hundreds of millions of face masks were delivered to France in response to the health emergency and to supply hospitals, nursing homes, local authorities and companies considered as essential, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets. This air bridge worked thanks to the mobilization of our employees throughout the logistics chain, from loading merchandise at factory outlets to delivering it to end users. As a result, the Group ensured that essential medical supplies were delivered extremely rapidly, which making a significant contribution to the French government s crisis management strategy.
The CMA CGM Foundation has also mobilized the Group s logistical expertise and international networks to actively combat the Covid-19 pandemic by shipping medical equipment and providing it to those that
needed it most. Over 1 million masks and other personal protective equipment were donated: - in France, to the Regional
Healthcare Agencies of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d Azur (PACA) and Ile-de-France
regions, the Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille (APHM) and the Institut
Hospitalo-Universitaire (IHU)
de Marseille. - in Lebanon, to several Lebanese
hospitals and the Lebanese Red Cross
- in Africa, to the Algerian Red Crescent and healthcare organisations in the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Mauritania, Senegal and Cameroon.
- in the USA, to the city of Los Angeles to support the resilient men and women working at the port to keep supply chains running.
Around the world, helping the most vulnerable. The CMA CGM Group has created an exceptional solidarity response fund to support initiatives to combat the Covid-19 pandemic and help the most vulnerable communities impacted by the health crisis in Marseilles, in Lebanon and internationally. Alongside Emmaus Connect
and Ecole de la 2ème Chance, the CMA CGM Foundation provided computer equipment and internet connections to more than 500 schoolchildren and students from underprivileged backgrounds in Marseilles to enable them to continue their schooling and studies during the lockdown. Teaming up with Action Against Hunger ACF and UNICEF, the Foundation distributed hygiene kits to 5,000 homeless people. Supporting the Bouches-du- Rhône department food bank, the Foundation also distributed 40,000 meals to the poor. In Lebanon, the Foundation provided funding for 23 local organizations to distribute emergency food assistance. More than 50,000 families located throughout the country benefited from this aid.
