As a responsible company that believes in people, EDF endeavours to embody its founding values as a public service in all of its work. The Group works particularly hard to help disabled people play an active role in society, either through work or in sport – two highly effective tools at boosting integration. For more than 20 years, EDF has also been working alongside the Fédération Française Handisport to make sport for all a reality.
EDF has been working with the Fédération Française Handisport (FFH) since 1992 to further the development and media coverage of disabled sport in France, up to the highest level:
Disabled sport will have won when we are seen as sportspeople rather than disabled people
EDF also supports international paralympic competitions:
In November 2014, “Vivons le Handisport avec EDF (Experience Disabled Sport with EDF)” was set up in three French train stations (Nantes, Marseille, and Paris-Nord). The aim was to raise public awareness of disabled sport by inviting people to take part in a fun challenge: a simulated wheelchair race using equipment designed especially for the campaign.
In 2013, as new, ever more ambitious disability agreements were signed, EDF renewed its partnership agreement with the Fédération Française Handisport (FFH), its longstanding partner. It was a strong signal of the Group’s comprehensive commitment to social inclusion for disabled people, within and outside the company.
Every day, EDF works to facilitate access to work for elite disabled athletes by opening the doors of the Group and helping them to best reconcile their sporting career and working life.
4 Team EDF disabled athletes are currently Group employees:
EDF tasked its R&D team with helping to develop equipment for disabled athletes to use in competition and in training.
Because sport is a powerful tool for inclusion, any idea is worth pursuing if it gets more people involved.
