Description
1) Objective
Founded in 2008, the Bel Foundation, created by the Bel Group, supports initiatives on behalf of children and teens, with a particular emphasis on food and dietary issues. To respond to the mission, the Foundation focuses its action on two axes:

In supporting projects led by Charities, the objective is to bring concrete and durable solutions for a better nutrition of the children.
- The Foundation supports the engagement of the employees by helping them to make their solidarity projects for children happen. A dozen of Grants are awarded each year to several employees’ team, acting activily in local Charities for the well-being of children.
This year, the Foundation will study specifically projects addressing the following issues:
- Sustainable supply for canteens: vegetable gardens, market gardening areas, collaborations with agricultural cooperatives, etc.,
