About the Foundation
Context
Following the integration of its subsidiaries into a single entity, the Belgacom Group has decided to regroup its existing initiatives of social sponsorship (the Proximus Foundation and the Helping Hand) and its social partnerships into a single body : the Belgacom Foundation. The Belgacom Foundation is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility strategy of the Belgacom Group.
Since 2003, more than 800 projects of non-profit associations have been supported for a total amount of more than 5 million EUR by the Proximus Foundation and the Helping Hand. On another hand, several thousands of computers have been distributed to schools and non-profit associations.
Mission
The Belgacom Foundation supports sustainable and innovative initiatives aimed at creating, restoring or strengthening social links between people and communities.
Organization
The daily management of the Foundation is carried out by Belgacom's social responsibility team. A Jury made up of experts selects the winning projects. The Board of Directors gives strategic directions, validates the Jury's decisions and approves the accounts.
Involvement of employees
Belgacom employees are invited to become an interface between the foundation and the supported associations. They will follow up the project from its selection by the Jury to its completion by the association.
