The PPR Foundation wishes to encourage PPR employees' engagement with local and international NGO, by granting support to selected staff projects.
RECOGNISE AND ENCOURAGE THE COMMITMENT OF VOLUNTEERING EMPLOYEES
A Selection Committee has been meeting on a regular basis since 2004 to review projects submitted by non-profit associations in which employees are involved, and grant support to selected projects aligned with the Foundation's sponsoring criteria.
Any Group employee may seek material, human and/or financial support from the Foundation for the benefit of an association in which s/he is a volunteer or member. The employee’s involvement in the project is assessed prior to submittal to the Selection Committee: the employee must be a member of the NGO concerned and agrees to monitor the project on behalf of the Foundation.
The Selection Committee reviews project proposals and decides on the funding granted up to €10 K.
KEY FIGURES
- Over 100 staff-sponsored projects supported since 2004
- Nearly 90 employees have sponsored an organisation since 2004
- 3 staff-sponsored projects in favour of women's empowerment supported in the first half-year 2009
IDENTIFYING EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERS AND NEW PARTNERS
While recognizing the value of employees' commitment, the projects sponsored also provide a way to identify new partners prepared to engage in sustainable projects jointly with the company.
As an example, Coup de Pouce was sponsored under an employee project before becoming a full-fledged Solidarity Leave partner of the Foundation.
Likewise, La Ronda, an association sponsored by a Gucci employee, became a partner after teaming with the brand in Florence on a joint project: craft fairs & exhibitions were organised at the Gucci site, and volunteering employees contributed guidance on specific skills.
PLEASE NOTE that the project proposal process for the next Selection Committee (1st half of 2010) is closed from March, 31.
