The foundation is at the heart of the Group’s philanthropic activities and social responsibility. From its inception in 1987 to the present it has been proactively involved in a natural extension of the company’s mission: helping everyone to communicate better.

Orange foundation’s mission is to create links between individuals, and in particular to make communication easier for those who are excluded for several reasons; health, handicap or because of their economical situation.

By fighting against sensory isolation, by promoting a better autonomy in the everyday life and in the professional life and by encouraging social and cultural development, Orange Foundation is mobilized to make the world more accessible. 

It has already been 20 years since Orange Foundation is fighting alongside associations to champion the cause of autism: to evolve mentalities and behaviors, to create appropriate structures and help families and continue the research. 

Different forms of support of the foundation allow a larger social integration of individuals: access to education for handicapped persons and in particular blind and deaf, a local patronage worn by employees of the group and a large project to reduce the digital divide: Orange Digital Solidarity.

At an international level, the foundation’s action is centered on access to education and health.

The Group's employees are a major component of the patronage of the company through volunteering, sponsorship of projects, collectives’ actions for humanitarian causes and with a proactive policy skills sponsorship.
