Supporting charitable initiatives

The Banque de France is committed to…

providing skill-based support to Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France Foundation, in order to improve the day-to-day well-being of children and teenagers in hospital

Since 1989, the Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France Foundation has financed some 13,400 projects aimed at keeping families together, improving the hospital environment and patient well-being, organising activities for patients and supporting teenagers in difficulty.

The Banque de France has a longstanding partnership with the Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France Foundation, and has sponsored its Opération Pièces Jaunes fundraising campaign since it was first launched. Each year, it mobilises staff at its headquarters, cash management centres and network branches to count and sort the coins donated through the campaign.

Assisting young people in order to improve social inclusion

Since 2010, as part of the Banque de France’s partnerships with the Créteil and Poitiers local education authorities, nearly 1,200 young people from deprived areas have benefited from tutoring, job interview coaching, educational workshops and mentoring programmes. 

Supporting Emmaüs in helping people into work

The Banque de France organises recycling campaigns for items such as mobile phones and spectacles, in association with Les Ateliers du Bocage (part of the Emmaüs Group), a charity that helps people into work and promotes sustainable development by giving everyday objects a new lease of life.

The Banque de France actively encourages staff to volunteer their professional skills during their working hours

Staff aged 55 and over, and with more than 15 years of service are entitled to 5 days paid leave per year to work with a recognised humanitarian, social inclusion or disabled charity.
