A European commitment to equal opportunities

Since the creation of its Foundation in 2020, Covivio has wanted to embody a committed business model. Faced with the challenges of social cohesion and solidarity, the group chose to involve its teams in France, Italy and Germany through a unified commitment program.

This program, Socovivio, allows each employee to devote 8 hours per year of their working time to an associative mission. The objective is clear: to promote better equal opportunities through concrete and local actions.

A European commitment program with a lasting impact

A program structured at European level

  • Deployed in France, Italy and Germany, the Socovivio program is based on localized management
  • The engagement experience is consistent across all countries, with easy access to missions and centralized impact monitoring.
  • Each country adapts animation locally while sharing the same solidarity objectives

A simple and mobilizing engagement policy

  • Each employee has 8 hours per year of working time to commit themselves to an association.
  • The program is reinforced by SoCoVivio Week: a collective week of solidarity actions organized every year
  • The Komeet tool is integrated into the company's digital environment to facilitate access to missions

Sustainable and impacting associative partnerships

  • The 360° approach combines financial sponsorship, skills sponsorship and in-kind donations, as close as possible to local needs.
  • The missions respond to selected concrete challenges: inclusion, integration, equal opportunities
  • The program is constantly evolving thanks to feedback from employees: integration of new formats, collective animation...
