For this new edition, four candidates are in the running in the CSR favorite category of the auditors. You have until June 4, 2023 to vote!
Bastien’s Friends
While Stéphane Petillon runs a computer company of 60 people, his 3-year-old son asks him why he wouldn’t give his “street buddies” a job. With the confinement he thinks of integrating people far from employment through crafts. It is the pastry chef Arnaud Normand who joins his adventure and decides him to start with chocolate.
Direct recruiter of people in great precariousness via an association (Entourage), Les Copains de Bastien have a volunteer coach in their workshop and work in a real chocolate factory in Paris. Products Bastien’s Friends are sold in store as well as on their website.
Frosted Sheep
Trained as a seamstress, Cynthia Born has created an insulated bag, zero plastic, in French wool.
It all started when she was contacted by breeders from the Lot, who had a sheet woven with their wool. The latter needed to enhance their production because 80% of French wool goes to China. She then made them some clothes, before creating her insulated bag. Cynthia Born works as closely as possible with the actors: “We harvest our wool ourselves, we have it felted and cut and we do the sewing in our workshops”. frosted sheep manufactures cooler bags, shopping bags, backpacks, and covers for bottles. 4,000 pieces are produced per year.
Colette Club
After 6 years in marketing at Blablacar, it was her 75-year-old next door neighbor who made Justine Renaudet aware of the loneliness of seniors. With Colette, it now helps students and young professionals to find accommodation by cohabiting with retirees who have a room to rent. Their idea and mission: to help seniors stay as long as possible at home in good conditions through cohabitation by renting a free room to a young person.
They have thus created 1,200 pairs of cohabitants mainly in Paris and Ile-de-France. “Since the start, we have paid the hosts 2.5 million euros in rent. This is additional purchasing power for seniors. Each rental is governed by a contract, a charter and internal regulations.”
Deliver’Help
Yovann Pigenet founded the platform Deliver’Help in 2021 following a two-year preparatory course at ENS. At the same time, he did a law degree at the Sorbonne and has always been involved in the Secours Populaire association. He then collected unsold goods from neighborhood merchants and distributed them to the homeless.
The Covid crisis has arrived and a double observation has emerged: student precariousness and food waste. Initially, the online platform collected unsold food products from partner merchants. Then they added other products to their kits, such as hygiene products, computer equipment or accessories with a small defect. The Delivr’Aide application works like Uber or Deliveroo, but for free.
They now have 4 storage sites in Montreuil, Bagnolet, Nation and Cachan. In addition to Ile-de-France, they are also present in Montpellier, Lyon, Grenoble, Le Havre, Toulouse and will open in Strasbourg soon. They have around forty partner merchants including major brands: Carrefour, Auchan, Monoprix… And their project for 2023 is to add books to their kits.
