At the end of a year marked by an unpre- cedented health and economic crisis, the Foundation initiated a solidarity pro- gramme to make the holiday season a true moment of sharing.
Several initiatives were launched to help those most in need, in partnership with reco- gnised NGOs, notably through food banks, the collecting of toys and donations of com- puters for young people to enable them to pursue their remote learning.
The involvement of the Group s subsidia- ries, its network of agencies and over 200 employees gave this initiative a global dimension.
