LA PASSERELLE

What LA PASSERELLE does

LA PASSERELLE is a French non-profit Association Intermédiaire (Intermediate Association) founded in 1991 in Amplepuis, operating under a state convention to deliver social and professional integration services. It is a member structure of Groupe ACTEM (Acteur pour l'Emploi et l'Insertion en Beaujolais), a Groupe d'Économie Solidaire (Solidarity Economy Group) formed in 2015 that brings together 3 associations and 4 SARL companies. LA PASSERELLE places insertion workers with individuals, businesses, associations, and local authorities, serving approximately 150 employees in insertion per year across short-term missions of 2 to 10 hours per week (which can accumulate to 80% of full-time work). The organization holds an 'agrément service à la personne' (personal services approval), enabling individual clients to benefit from 50% tax deductions or tax credits on household services.

The association operates three physical reception locations in the Beaujolais territory: Amplepuis (headquarters at 62 rue du 11 Novembre 1918), Thizy les Bourgs (Mairie de Thizy), and Cours-la-Ville (Centre Social). Its product portfolio spans household services (cleaning, ironing, gardening, handyman work, childcare for children over 3), facility cleaning, gardening, maintenance, and handling for businesses and local authorities, as well as medico-social support work. Documented client relationships include Adapei 69 (childcare support for disabled individuals), Mairie de Thizy les Bourgs (multi-year staffing with 3 permanent conversions from interim missions), Centre Hospitalier du Beaujolais Vert (ASH hospital service agent positions), and ESAT (cleaning work with disabled individuals).

LA PASSERELLE generates revenue through hourly billing for temporary staffing placements (mise à disposition), handling all administrative tasks (contracts, social declarations, payroll) so clients receive a single contract and single invoice. Revenue sources include direct fees from businesses, local authorities, and associations; individual consumer payments offset by tax advantages; and public co-financing (EU, Conseil Départemental du Rhône, État) via the parent ACTEM group's RSA beneficiary accompaniment contract (234 beneficiaries, 2023-2025). LA PASSERELLE has no proprietary technology platform; its differentiation stems from 30+ years of local presence, embedded territorial partnerships (Pôle Emploi, Conseil Départemental du Rhône, Coorace network), ISO 9001 / CEDRE RSE certification (obtained December 2020), and the social impact mission that distinguishes it from conventional staffing agencies.

Direct peers

• Groupe ARES: Major French social-inclusion enterprise association running ETTI and insertion activities (logistics, recycling, services) with the same temporary-work-for-inclusion model that LA PASSERELLE deploys in Beaujolais. Comparable on regulatory framework (SIAE / ETTI), client base (enterprises, collectivités), and revenue model (placement fees + public co-financing).
• Vitamine T: French SIAE network headquartered in the Hauts-de-France region operating Intermediate Association (AI), ETTI, and EI structures with placement and inclusion missions analogous to LA PASSERELLE. Both serve job-seekers facing social/professional difficulties via temporary staffing for households, enterprises, and public bodies; both rely on French IAE funding mechanisms (RSA, Pôle Emploi referrals).
• Emmaüs Défi: Paris-region social-insertion association (part of the Emmaüs movement) that combines temporary-staffing, ETTI-style activities, and household services for people in extreme exclusion. Comparable operating model (non-profit intermediate staffing with SAP capabilities) and shared inclusion-by-work philosophy, though with a larger urban footprint.
• Id'EES Insertion: Federation of French Intermediate Associations and SIAE structures that, like LA PASSERELLE, operate under the AI convention with Service à la Personne agrément to place insertion beneficiaries with individuals, associations and businesses. Directly overlapping in regulatory status, target population, and service catalogue (household, maintenance, small works).

Broad incumbents

• ENVIE: National network of French insertion enterprises focused on appliance refurbishment and recycling, but operating under the same SIAE inclusion-economics model (regulated employer aids, ASP, RSA eligibility) and serving many of the same institutional clients. Comparable on legal framework and revenue mechanics if not on exact service line.
• Manpower France: Major French commercial staffing group with broader enterprise and industry placement capabilities. Comparable on staffing-as-a-service delivery to LA PASSERELLE's commercial clients (BTP, logistics, industry), but operates under standard (non-IAE) commercial economics and serves a different regulatory framework.
• Adecco France: Large commercial staffing group in France operating a dedicated Inclusion division (Adecco Insertion) that competes for some of the same public-sector inclusion contracts and large-enterprise placement needs. Not a direct competitor on SAP household services but a clear adjacent incumbent in temp staffing with growing social-inclusion exposure.

Others

• Chantier École: National French network federating insertion enterprises (Ateliers et Chantiers d'Insertion) particularly in building trades and environmental work. Relevant peer category because ACTEM's ATRE Services subsidiary operates the ACI model directly comparable to Chantier École members, sharing regulatory framework and beneficiary population.
• Pôle Emploi: French state employment agency that refers RSA-eligible and long-term-unemployed candidates to LA PASSERELLE and co-finances insertion pathways. Not a commercial peer, but a critical upstream counterparty — comparable as the systemic backbone that intermediates beneficiaries between state funding and SIAE operators like LA PASSERELLE.
• Cocagne Network ( Réseau Cocagne ): Federation of French insertion "Jardins de Cocagne" market-gardening enterprises providing work-inclusion for RSA beneficiaries and other excluded populations. Operates the same IAE regulatory scaffolding as LA PASSERELLE's structures, though in a different sector (organic gardening) — relevant as a sector peer for the inclusion-economics model.
