FACE Val de Marne

What FACE Val de Marne does

FACE Val de Marne is a non-profit association (loi 1901), founded in April 2012 under the joint impulse of the Conseil Départemental du Val-de-Marne, the national Fondation FACE (Fondation Agir Contre l'Exclusion, reconnue d'utilité publique), and approximately 40 founding companies. Operating from Bonneuil-sur-Marne and Choisy-le-Roi in the Île-de-France region, the organization functions as a club of citizen entrepreneurs and a territorial convener. Its member base consists of 60+ companies of all sizes (from SMEs/TPE/PME to large enterprise including ADP, Enedis, GRDF, EDF, Orange, RATP, La Poste, Eiffage, Razel-Bec, SUEZ, and others) and 65 public and private local decision-makers. Governance is exercised through a Bureau and board that includes representatives of major institutional partners (CCI94, CMA94, departmental council delegates, Enedis, RATP, Groupe Valophis).

The organization's activities are organized around five intervention axes: FACE À L'EMPLOI (employment support for fragile populations, including the Job Academy reintegration program for 12-14 participants over 6 months and the PMSMP professional immersion program of 1-4 weeks), FACE À L'ENTREPRISE (RSE training in five modules and tools), FACE À L'ÉDUCATION (workshops in schools, company visits, professional sponsorship, apprenticeship engagement), FACE À LA CONSOMMATION (energy, mobility, postal service awareness workshops delivered with Enedis, GRDF, RATP, La Poste, EDF), and FACE AU TERRITOIRE (engagement on Grand Paris Express and 'Charte Entreprises et Quartiers' prefiguration for Choisy-le-Roi, Ivry-sur-Seine, and Vitry-sur-Seine). Service delivery is fundamentally in-person: site visits, school workshops, company-borne training sessions, and matinales.

Its business and operating model is membership-based: corporate members join via annual cotisations (fees not publicly disclosed) and may additionally donate; the organization is supported by institutional and philanthropic grants from partners including the Conseil Départemental du Val-de-Marne, Fondation de France, Pôle Emploi, Aract Île-de-France, CGET, Préfecture d'Île-de-France, and Ministère de la Ville. It has 5 permanent operational staff implementing actions decided by association members, and from 2020 a professional sponsorship program for ASE-supervised youth has extended its service surface. FACE Val de Marne is formally represented in departmental governance bodies (Contrat de ville, Comités de développement territorial, coordination départementale de la formation professionnelle). Pricing for the RSE training program is delivered at negotiated cost to enterprises; membership dues and donations form the foundational revenue stream. The organization does not operate proprietary technology, does not sell a product, and does not generate technology- or IP-driven revenue.

Others

• Fondation de France: Major French philanthropic foundation funding social initiatives, including those of FACE Val de Marne. Adjacent funder and ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor, but operates in the same nonprofit/CSR space.

• Fondation FACE (FACE nationale): National parent foundation recognized as being of public utility; federates 50+ local clubs including FACE Val de Marne. Same brand, mission, and membership model, but operates at the national level as coordination and recognition body.
• ESS France (Chambre française de l'économie sociale et solidaire): National chamber representing the social and solidarity economy; overlaps with FACE Val de Marne's mission of bridging classical and social economy. Functions as an advocacy and policy body rather than a local club.

Broad incumbents

• MEDEF Île-de-France: Regional employer federation engaging large enterprises on economic and social policy. Comparable to FACE Val de Marne in convening large French enterprises, but operates as a broader-incumbent lobby rather than a CSR/specialty club.

Direct peers

Comparable as a territorial, member-based entrepreneur club with strong local institutional ties, though focused on business creation rather than CSR.

• Entreprendre Pour Apprendre: French nonprofit mobilizing business volunteers to deliver education programs to young people (mini-enterprises, classroom interventions). Highly comparable to FACE Val de Marne's FACE à l'Éducation axis in mission, volunteer-driven model, and school-facing delivery.
