Our mission
Fondation Groupe Primonial was created at the end of May 2020. It continues the work of Fondation Financière de l’Echiquier in promoting equality of opportunity and a more inclusive society by supporting action in the areas of education, health, and social and professional integration.
As well as providing financial support to charities, the Foundation is also a real company project that allows staff at Groupe Primonial to come together in a commitment of solidarity.
Through its philanthropic actions, Fondation Groupe Primonial is fully in line with the commitments made under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Projects funded by the Foundation contribute to six of these Goals :

Operating under the umbrella of Fondation de France, Fondation Groupe Primonial benefits from the oversight and support of France’s leading philanthropic network.
Governance
Strategy Committee
Fondation Groupe Primonial is managed by a Strategy Committee which sets its overall strategy. The committee is chaired by Stéphane Vidal, Chairman of Groupe Primonial and of the Foundation, and is made up of representatives of Group subsidiaries and external advisers who are experts in the areas where the Foundation is active.
