THE CMA CGM FOUNDATION BRINGS SUNSHINE INTO CHILDREN’S LIVES

For nearly fifteen years, the Group’s corporate foundation has been committed to creating a brighter future for the most at-risk children. Knowing that children are our future, CMA CGM strives to help them in different ways.

Chaired by Naïla Saadé, wife of Group founder

Jacques Saadé, the CMA CGM Corporate Foundation

was founded in 2005. The Foundation works in

France and Lebanon to promote the personal

development of children living with disabilities,

improve the daily lives of ailing children and

promote equal opportunities for young people

from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our mission: MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN

Every year, the Foundation provides financial support to around fifteen projects from non-profit organisations as part of a call for proposals. It prioritises innovative projects that make a real difference in children’s lives. The project sponsors must be based in the PACA region, the Group’s home base, or in Lebanon, the ancestral home of the Saadé family. The foundation teams perform thorough investigations of the viability of the projects and visit the non-profits doing the most promising work. Site visits help the team determine a project’s real potential. In addition to the funds provided, a Foundation prize is awarded every year to two organisations: one from France and one from Lebanon.
