Fondation Orange

Where?: Headquarters
When?: Since 2016
How?: Skills sponsorship

The cooperation between Orange and SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL illustrates the growing development of skills sponsorship in France.   

Under this scheme, employees are made available by their companies to associations for short or long-term assignments, free of charge for the association. 

Orange offers its retiring employees the “Temps Partiel Seniors” (TPS) scheme. Employees can donate part of their working time to a non-profit organization working in an area supported by the Orange Foundation: education, health or culture.  

Thanks to the Orange Foundation’s TPS scheme, 5 Orange employees have joined SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL since 2016, including a project manager in the logistics department in the fields of information systems, a regional delegation manager in Loire-Bretagne, and a partnerships officer in the partnerships department to develop skills sponsorhips at the NGO’s headquarters. 

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is delighted with this long-term partnership with Orange, and hopes that skills-based sponsorship will develop in other structures.
