PARTNERSHIP

Fondation Rémy Cointreau x Vendredi

The Rémy Cointreau group, already an active philanthropist, decided to go further by launching its corporate foundation in 2017: Fondation Rémy Cointreau. The group committed to “Terroir, people and time” wished to act for the preservation and the future of cultural and human expression. Fondation Rémy Cointreau provides financial, technical or human support to projects on all continents, with priority given to our terroir. It has also defined four areas of commitment to the general interest, including the promotion of exceptional know-how, transmission, and skill-based sponsorship. The latter has just been launched among the group’s employees, but the message is not only intended for them.

Skill-based sponsorship

The spotlight is on skill-based sponsorship. It is about giving the opportunity to employees of a company to get involve 2 days per year in an association, during a short-term mission (1 to 2 days/employee).

The purpose of this project is to encourage commitment within a company.

The Vendredi platform

This platform is a link between associations and companies. Each association with a particular need can propose one or several missions on the platform. And each company employee can thus have access to these missions and then can offer their help easily.

It is with Vendredi that Fondation Rémy Cointreau and the eponymous group have decided to get involved.

The Fondation Rémy Cointreau and skill-based sponsorship

Associations specialized in arts and crafts are not much represented on the platform, although it offers many answers to the problems they may encounter. Indeed, you, associations, by joining the community, you will be able to propose missions related to your needs: communication, legal and fiscal, digital etc. These missions will be visible to the entire community of Vendredi.

We invite all associations in the craft sector to register on Vendredi platform, in order to make your needs known to a community of committed actors or those who wish to get involved. Click here to get started!
