Our societal commitment is in particular carried forward by our corporate foundation Terre Plurielle, which contributes to the development of local communities of the countries in which we operate. Through their involvement and their dedication to the most deprived sections of society, our employees, committed sponsors, make all our promises of building a better life come true on a daily basis.

Right from its launch in 2008, Terre Plurielle has been extending its financial backing to projects sponsored by employees who commit themselves to the seriousness of purpose of the supported association. The sponsor plays a decisive role, by virtue of his awareness of local requirements and the specificities peculiar to each country. In fact this is the first and foremost criterion for the selection of projects.

Over and above financial support, projects having a connection with the Group's businesses can also benefit from non-financial support by way of skills: employees come to support associations to advise them or concretely participate in seeing a work through. In this fashion, the supported projects can benefit from the expertise and innovative capabilities of the Group.

For Quentin d鈥橢penoux, general manager of Terre Plurielle, the involvement of the sponsors is crucial: "Commitment is a distinct value at 8868体育APP Construction and comes out on a day-to-day basis in the involvement of our sponsors, irrespective of the position they hold in the company, ranging from construction workers to managers. At the end of the day, the wealth of Terre Plurielle is its story written with our 193 committed employees and ambassadors of our activities.
