Wich indicators? This question is at the heart of ENGIE Foundation’s concerns. Beyond the number of beneficiaries reached, it is a question of understanding how a museum\u2019s visit, listening to a concert or electrifying a village have a real and long-term impact, on beneficiarie\u2019s life, but also on all of the project’s stakeholders and on a given territory.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”3″ back_color=”color-108997″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]For all projects, ENGIE Foundation attaches increasing importance to the evaluation of actions. Each agreement signed with a partner thus includes the obligation to submit, once a year, an evaluation file to verify that results are in line with the set objectives. This rigor and transparency are essential, both with regard to shareholders and employees of ENGIE Group.<\/span>
\nSince 2019, ENGIE Foundation has been carrying out in-depth work to set up identical monitoring indicators that apply to all projects, regardless of the field of intervention or the public. This work will be finalized during 2020. Here some elements on the guiding principles that will guide the reflection:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Take into account a triple impact<\/a><\/span>
\n2. Distinguish between actions and results<\/a><\/span>

\u00ab The number of beneficiaries is not the totality of actions. At the Opera, we are not in the race for the number of beneficiaries. It’s a choice, we prefer to work in the long term, to have a real impact on lives. Moreover, the study conducted with Sciences Po and the CNRS has shown that the 10 year course at the Opera had a positive impact on the results of the secondary school certificate. \u00bb<\/span><\/h4>\n

Each indicator must also be associated with a target for achievement. It is not necessarily easy to set a “course” for each indicator. Setting targets in terms of reducing the poverty rate is more complex than defining the number of photovoltaic panels to be installed. Setting targets in terms of acquiring “soft skills” for disadvantaged children is more complex than agreeing on a number of educational actions. However, it is essential to set a course. This is what enables progress to be made. Indeed, it is by analysing the differences between objectives and achievements that corrective measures can be implemented… to increase their social and environmental impact.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=”accent” el_width=”10%” el_height=”5px”][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ text_color=”accent”]Life beyond numbers[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”4″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Behind each “beneficiary” is a child, a family, a woman, with her story, her ills, her joys and her obstacles. Sometimes, culture, sport or education creates the trigger that changes life. Often, energy is the trigger to get out of poverty. But one thing is certain, to have a lasting social and environnemental impact, it is better to work for the long term.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]This is why ENGIE Foundation prefers support programmes over the long term, on agreements of at least two years. Far from “zapping” philanthropy. It is also keen to meet the “beneficiaries” in the field, via the ENGIE group’s regional delegations and in partnership with its partners.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-108997″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ border_style=”solid” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shadow=”sm” width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”fontsize-566982″ text_weight=”900″ text_color=”color-xsdn”]Key success factors according to the ENGIE Foundation[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]- Long-term support:<\/strong> no “zapping” support but long-term support for beneficiaries<\/p>\n

– Betting on excellence and commitment:<\/strong> beneficiaries are accompanied by the best mediators or experts. In exchange, they are ready to commit to creating a project.<\/p>\n

– Anchoring in the territories:<\/strong> networking with stakeholders in each territory helps to anchor projects and multiply their social and environmental impact.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00ab The ability to build and get involved together is also a guarantee project impact. The impact starts with motivation and temperament of the project\u2019s leaders. The more project leaders are involved, the more project will flourish in the long term.\u00a0\u2009\u00bb<\/span><\/h4>\n
