Our strategy for supporting local communities

Definitions

In social geography, a local community refers to different groups of people living in close proximity to one another, in the same geographical area. These communities can be connected through social, cultural, environmental, or sporting organizations, for example. An Endowment Fund is an organization designed to collect donations from people outside the structure, to help another organization carry out a work or mission of general interest, without financial gain.

Acting locally is part of our corporate culture. From Spain to Brazil, Canada to South Africa, each of our subsidiaries is committed to contributing to the energy and drive of its local region. The Roullier Endowment Fund is part of this dynamic, encouraging patronage of scientific projects in France and abroad.

Two principles guide our actions:

Our goal for 2025

Training farmers in plant inoculation

Led by the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), in partnership with Dakar and Thies Universities, this project was set up to develop and support the inoculation technique in Senegal. This simple technique involves adding bacteria or fungi to enhance the development and health of associated plants.

It helps stabilize agricultural yields.

It can generate up to twice the production of inoculated crops.

Feeding childrenin need

For Mandela Day, the TIMAC AGRO South Africa team visited a children's home, The Doves Nest Place of Safety.

The team provided light meals and provided warm clothes to all children who live there so they can go through the winter in better conditions.

Seeing their smiles and sincere gratitude strengthens our belief that together we help create a better future for these children and that it is vital we give them our support.

The 10th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) calls on countries to adapt their policies and legislation in order to:

• Increase income for the poorest 40% of the population.
• Reduce pay inequalities based on gender, age, disability, social or ethnic origin, or religious affiliation.

In particular, by encouraging the representation of developing countries in global decision-making.

Part of the profits are donated to the AFM Téléthon.
