Because no-one is unemployable, the Veolia Foundation supports initiatives and structures in places where Veolia is active that help people who have dropped out of mainstream society return to work or that strengthen social links.
The Foundation:
- supports projects that offer counselling, training, and social and professional integration through economic activity
- gives preference to innovative projects that trial new ways of creating employment and fostering social links
- focuses its support on projects that establish "bridges" between people in subsidized employment programs and the company's three business activities.
Highlight Project
Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y)
In the Philippines, Indonesia and India in particular, Life Project 4 Youth is opening Life Projects Centers. These entrepreneurial training centers enable young people in precarious situations to envisage social and professional integration through the creation of a micro-economic activity.
In the territories where LP4Y and Veolia teams work together, a dialogue has been initiated for the benefit of young people. Company visits are organized, professionals give talks during training sessions and participate in mentoring programs, etc.
