HEC Paris defines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as: a business model in which companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders instead of only considering economic profits.
It is no secret that we are living in an ever-changing world. Global inequality, increasing economic disparity, and near-constant war (among other factors) has led to a sharp rise in the number of migrants living in France, increasing approximately 225% in the 2022-2023 period in contrast to 2021.
Arriving from all over the world, many of these individuals live in precarious situations, with little or no stable housing, poor nutrition, and social isolation.
Corporate Social Responsibility in Paris
Not Alone 75 believes that the business community, educational institutions, and every citizen has a role to play in improving the lives of Paris' and France's residents.
Through our CSR events, we aim to engage these stakeholders through organized events, hands-on volunteering, learning workshops, and more. The funds raised through these activities will go to the daily operation of Not Alone 75 as well as the myriad programs we support.
Please reach out to us to get involved!
What we offer
Donation Box:
With sustainability being important at Not Alone 75, we offer a program whereby, for a monthly donation, we will provide a Donation Box for your office or school. Once a month (or more if needed) one of our volunteers will stop by to pick up the contents and we will distribute or donate the items on your behalf.
Hygiene Kits:
One of the many challenges faced by people in precarious living situations is access to adequate hygiene. Products that we take for granted, such as soap, razors, deodorant, and even hair ties can be difficult to obtain. And that's just a start. This initiative will work with your office or school to put together hygiene kits that will be donated afterwards, either by our team, or in tandem with you.
Clean-up Paris:
While the City of Paris does what it can to keep its streets clean, we believe more should be done. This initiative involves a conversation on environmental sustainability in Paris (city-wide projects, future plans etc) followed by a neighborhood clean-up using brooms and trash pickers. A fun competition to see who can pick up the most cigarette butts is always fun!
Guerilla Gardening:
Paris is full of parks, gardens, and green spaces. With our guerilla gardening initiative, participants will be engaged in a workshop on environmental sustainability before getting dirty! One of our team members will work with you to make what are called "seed bombs" that your team can take home with them and plant in those green spaces. Let's make Paris even prettier!
Crossing Borders seminar:
Not Alone 75 works primarily with refugees, asylum-seekers and people living on the street. Sometimes our beneficiaries are all three. This initiative involves a seminar led by one of our beneficiaries meant to engage participants in a thoughtful conversation on the challenges faced by those who arrive here under difficult conditions. This seminar will be followed by hygiene kit assembly and, if desired, distribution.
