The partnership between Emmaüs Défi and the FM Logistic group was born because there are many synergies to be explored. The activities of Emmaüs Défi, the professions and skills of the teams of FM Logistic group and the mission of FM Foundation, are a good combination.
About twenty FM Logistic employees volunteered to get involved in this partnership. They were invited to the launch meeting of the sponsorship event held at Emmaus Défi in Paris on Tuesday, January 19.
The core of a lasting partnership is based on collaboration between human resources, as well as the sharing of know-how and know-how.
It is to create these links that Emmaus Défi and FM Foundation organized this meeting. Some of the company’s employees were able to visit the Emmaus Défi site in Paris and talk to the teams of the various programs: the Chantier d’insertion, the Équipage and the Banque Solidaire de l’Equipement. This visit allowed them to better understand their actions and needs.
