The Compagnie Fruitière Foundation
For more than ten years, support for vulnerable populations has been the common thread in all our actions, both in Marseille and in Africa.
Since 2022, the year of the tenth anniversary of the Fundation, a new direction has been taken with a focus on the theme of sustainable food, while respecting people and the environment.
The Compagnie Fruitière Foundation wanted to display with in images its first ten years of commitment around its areas of action which were health, education, culture and the environment. Some notable projects are presented among the fifty projects supported over this period.
I am very proud of our new commitment to sustainable food, particularly relevant in light of the crises we are going through and which is also coherent with the core activity of the Compagnie Fruitière Group.
At the same time, I also wanted to maintain 3 of the Foundation’s historic areas of commitment that are dear to me: strengthening the commitment of the Group’s employees for the general interest, helping to collectively mobilize more and more companies in Marseille for the benefit of vulnerable populations locally and finally maintain the positive dynamic of our artistic exchange programs between Marseille and African countries.
