What Rertr does

RERTR (Réseau d'Entraide et de Relations de Terre Rouge) is a French non-profit association founded in 1990 in Cahors, legally constituted as an Association loi 1901 and recognized as a Structure d'Insertion par l'Activité Économique (SIAE) and Entreprise de l'Économie Sociale et Solidaire. Its mission is to support disadvantaged individuals toward sustainable employment through an integrated "enterprise-school" model in which employees receive vocational training during paid work hours. The organization employs 45 staff, of whom 30 are on insertion contracts (CDDI) renewable up to 24 months, and operates through two complementary entities: RERTR INSERTION (catering/traiteur, eco-laundry, social grocery provisioning) and RERTR FORMATION (Qualiopi-certified training and the Plateforme Linguistique 46).

RERTR's commercial activities span three lines: a catering/traiteur workshop serving events and recurring institutional clients (notably the Comité Départemental de l'Enfance since October 2015); an Eco-Blanchisserie offering eco-labelled linen rental and maintenance to hotels, restaurants, gîtes and B&Bs in the Cahors area; and two social grocery formats — SESAME (fixed-site, 80% below commercial value, in partnership with CCAS de Cahors) and Pause Cabas (a mobile drive-through launched in September 2022 serving 5 delivery sites across 4 communautés de communes in southern Lot). The training arm delivers basic skills, digital, French-as-a-Foreign-Language, and mobility (driving code) courses, with the linguistic platform extending a regional network for newcomer integration.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on commercial services, French state subsidies for insertion contracts, public training funding accessed via Qualiopi certification, and tax-deductible donations under the organization's "Reconnue d'Intérêt Général" status (66% individual / 60% corporate deductions). The customer base is a hybrid of government/institutional clients, local hospitality SMBs, and individual beneficiaries routed through social-worker referrals. Geographic operations are entirely domestic, confined to the Lot department in Occitanie, France.

RERTR is a French social integration association operating three production workshops (catering/traiteur, eco-laundry, social grocery provisioning) that employ disadvantaged individuals under CDDI contracts, paired with a Qualiopi-certified training organization (RERTR FORMATION) and a departmental linguistic platform (Plateforme Linguistique 46). Services are sold to local hospitality businesses, institutions, and event organizers, while social grocery access and training are provided to people in difficulty, supported by tax-deductible donations.

Product overview

The services work together to support people in difficulty toward sustainable employment through a 'learning enterprise' model where each employee receives training within their work time.
