FACE PARIS HAUTS DE SEINE

What FACE PARIS HAUTS DE SEINE does

FACE Paris Hauts de Seine is a non-profit business club (club d'entreprises) and regional affiliate of the national Fondation FACE (Fondation Agir Contre l'Exclusion), headquartered at 18 rue Ramus, 75020 Paris, and operating since 2006 with a staff of 11. Its mandate is to bring companies together to act collectively on social inclusion through employment, professional integration, diversity, and CSR. Member enterprises — including ENGIE, GRDF, GRTgaz, Sodexo, Thales, SUEZ, Capgemini, RATP, AG2R La Mondiale, and Adecco — provide mentors, apprenticeship slots, and funding; job seekers from priority neighborhoods, ages 17–25 and 45+, people with disabilities, and migrants receive structured employment support.

FACE Paris operates a portfolio of ~13 named programs rather than a technology product. Flagship youth programs are Job Academy (mentored job-search program for BAC+3 to BAC+5 graduates, 90% employment outcome in 2019) and PEMS (Parcours Emploi Mobilité Sport, founded 2016 with ENGIE, 85% positive outcomes). Vertical programs include HandiCAP'ENTREPRISE (disability), Compétences 45+/50+ (seniors), CIVIGAZ (energy precarity with GRDF), Parrainage (mentorship), Clauses Sociales (social clause implementation on public construction contracts), Dynamique Emploi (RSA beneficiaries), and EntreVoix/Lotus/Bienvenu.e.s (migrants/refugees). The annual "Osons l'apprentissage et l'alternance" week is the primary outreach event, reaching 1,900 registrations in 2019. No proprietary technology platform, API, or AI/ML capability is referenced; digital channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook) are used for distribution.

The business model is non-profit and multi-source: (1) recurring corporate membership fees from member enterprises; (2) voluntary allocations of the French apprenticeship tax (Taxe d'apprentissage) from companies for educational/insertion programs; (3) project-based co-financing from the European Social Fund (FSE), DIRECCTE, and other public bodies; (4) operational support from the parent Fondation FACE network. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven — direct outreach to corporate CSR/HR departments, partnerships with municipalities (Paris, Gennevilliers, Suresnes, Colombes), public developers (Grand Paris Aménagement/AFTRP), and Pôle Emploi for beneficiary referrals. The organization is governed by a Conseil d'Administration chaired by Paulo Cameijo, with Eric Boucaret as Director.

• Le RAMEAU: French think-tank and platform supporting corporate philanthropy and cross-sector partnerships for social impact. Overlapping funder-network perspective on inclusion programs and CSR funding.
• IMS - Entreprendre pour la Cité: French business network advancing corporate social responsibility and inclusion. Comparable corporate-membership model but broader mandate covering environmental and ethical issues alongside diversity and employment.
