About ENGIE Foundation

Since its creation, the ENGIE Foundation has been mobilising energies to help the weakest and most vulnerable. Its primary focus has been children and young people in need, giving them the confidence to grow by supporting projects that promote inclusion through culture, education, health or sport. Support for children is in keeping with the Foundation’s philosophy: children will build the world of tomorrow, so giving them the energy to act is vital to the future of the planet.

In recent years, the ENGIE Foundation has evolved to take up new challenges: access to energy for all and protecting biodiversity. Like support for children, these are crucial challenges for the future of our planet and its sustainable growth.

Climate crises in places such as Haiti are becoming increasingly commonplace. This is something that the ENGIE Foundation felt unable to ignore. Part of its budget has therefore been set aside for emergency assistance, as distinct from the projects supported under agreements with our partners.

With migration on the rise worldwide, the Foundation is also committed to assisting migrants and refugees, whether driven by economic, political or climatic factors.

Of the world’s 800 million illiterate individuals, 75% are women. And yet women are often the linchpins of development. They are innovators who work hard to improve the day-to-day lives of their families.

Consequently, women often play a key role in projects supported by the ENGIE Foundation, whether promoting the social inclusion of children or access to energy for all.
