sponsoring and counseling the non-profit organization "Ohé! Prométhée" for a year

Director of the Veolia Water "Brie-Gâtineau" operational center, has been sponsoring and counseling the non-profit organization "Ohé! Prométhée" for a year.

"In the spring of 2005, the city of Melun organized a symposium on the theme "Companies and disabled people: let's meet up. "We set up a stand. During a debate, I met the chairman of Ohé! Prométhée and was able to appreciate the success of his initiative: in 12 years, they have found work for more than 5,000 disabled people, just in the Seine-et-Marne department! They were keen to optimize their structure by setting up a multimedia workshop to help people find jobs online. I contacted the Foundation and the project was accepted. The organization has become a valued partner for our HR department.We routinely inform them of job vacancies to that they can identify disabled people who might meet our requirements. As a director, I set a new goal for my three agency directors: I asked each of them to set up a project financed by the Foundation by the end of 2006. A company cannot develop while ignoring its social environment. One of Veolia Environnement's values is responsibility: "never forget the social and societal dimension of our businesses." By working with the Foundation, our company benefits from an additional factor of differentiation."
