To promote employee engagement and develop access to energy for the\u00a0 <\/span>most vulnerable populations, the <\/span>ENGIE Foundation has structured its “Access to energy for all” programme by <\/span> providing\u00a0 <\/span>strong\u00a0 <\/span>support<\/span> for the action and operation <\/span>of two internal NGOs<\/span>, <\/span> Energy Assistance<\/span>, created in <\/span> 2001 in Belgium and in 2005 in France, by volunteer <\/span>employees <\/span>of the ENGIE group. <\/span><\/p>\n

Give them the means to act and federate, share a common commitment to <\/span>allow access to energy for the most vulnerable populations, with a target of one million beneficiaries by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

Created by voluntary and committed collaborators\u00a0 <\/span>in Belgium and France, the mission of Energy Assistance associations\u00a0 <\/span>is to bring energy to the\u00a0 <\/span>most disadvantaged and isolated populations in the world to provide them\u00a0 <\/span>with\u00a0 <\/span>essential services\u00a0 <\/span>and to improve their living conditions, thanks to sustainable, long term, autonomous and low-carbon energy installations.<\/p>\n

These humanitarian projects cannot be carried out without the commitment of ENGIE Group employees, who made their skills and know-how available.<\/p>\n

In 2022, 40 projects, supported by the Foundation, were carried out thanks to 67 volunteers.<\/p>\n
