Being a force for good is at the heart of our strategy
Our philanthropy policy is ingrained in our sustainability strategy. Its purpose consists in defining and establishing governing principles for philanthropic activities at Arval and its employees, all over the world.
At Arval, there are three types of donations:
- _ Financial donations (corporate fundraising, financial donations, etc.)
- _ Items (donation or free lending of vehicles, equipment, etc.)
- _ Time (volunteering hours – 1MillionHours2Help)
In line with our Philanthropy Policy, we want our energies to serve causes related to our vision. We encourage initiatives aligned with our four main philanthropy themes:
- ACCELERATING the energy transition and fostering the preservation of biodiversity
- PROMOTING the social inclusion of younger generations
- IMPROVING local communities close to our facilities
- SUPPORTING social entrepreneurship initiatives
FOCUS
THE JACCEDE SOLIDARITY CHALLENGE
People with reduced mobility lack of information on accessibility and it remains one of the most significant barriers to make their life easy.
In December 2022, almost 150 employees from Arval France and Headquarters hit the streets in the hexagon (Lyon, Rueil-Malmaison and Rennes) to list the local shops accessible to all, thanks to the dedicated Jaccede online platform. More than 900 new locations have been added thanks to the dedication of the 16 teams mobilised.
“The idea of addressing the issue of disability together in a challenging and collaborative way has been massively supported internally. I think it is because inclusion is a value we all share at Arval. We encourage to make our close environment more accessible to all."
1MILLIONHOURS2HELP, THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR PHILANTHROPIC AMBITION

This global solidarity initiative allows all Arval employees to participate by carrying out solidarity actions during their working hours, in agreement with their manager. Since its launch, all Arval Group employees around the world have shown great commitment with more than 32,799 volunteering hours.
