A house is a home
Closer links have been forged between SOMFY Foundation and the subsidiaries, with more regular exchanges. In 2022, for the first time, a guide to best practice in financial sponsorship was distributed, and an international survey of sponsorship actions by subsidiaries was carried out, all of which provides a more global understanding of the Group's generosity.
106 solidarity days and 96 employees involved (double the number in 2021)
Les Petites Pierres

Restoration of the Magland forest
Better living on the planet and helping to build a better world is the new raison d'être of SOMFY Foundation. It is in this context that SOMFY Foundation has committed to the reforestation of the Magland forest, in partnership with the ONF – Agir pour la Forêt. The biggest ecological project in the Valley.
SOMFY Foundation has undertaken to have 1 hectare planted by SOMFY Group employees that will be maintained for 5 years.
61 employees were involved over 2 days
Employee involvement France
In France, the employee involvement program started in 2012, this program has gone from strength to strength thanks to the commitment of employees and the trust of our partner NGOs.
Many employees have decided to get involved as a team to experience these days of solidarity and give some time to the NGOs. Far from being team building, these days with managers strengthened team cohesion and enabled everyone to get to know each other better.
406 days of solidarity and 368 committed employees
THANK YOU!
It is thanks to the energy of our employees and the renewed confidence of our partner associations that this wonderful year has been possible! The SOMFY Foundation is fortunate to be able to rely on employees and a committed group who are determined to act for the common good and the general interest.
Great actions and prospects for 2023, with a Sport dans la Ville partnership, the EDHEC chair, a new international partner, the resumption of solidarity vacations and environmental days, to follow ...
Thank you to all SOMFY Group employees who were committed to SOMFY Foundation in 2022, and have been for so many years!
