A house is a home
Our housing initiatives across the world
Somfy Foundation operates internationally because it is part of Somfy’s core values to be socially involved in the countries in which the group is present. Inadequate housing is a worldwide problem. As an international company, Somfy is keen to make its own contribution to help as many people as possible gain access to decent housing.
The A House is A Home program enables the subsidiaries to be involved alongside the foundation. Each subsidiary identifies a non-profit organization with a project focused on decent housing and provides a financial support as well as skills help scheme by involving its employees.
