Fondation Nexans: promoting universal access to energy

As of 2013, Nexans became the first cable manufacturer to create a corporate Foundation dedicated to serving the public interest. The creation of Fondation Nexans was seen as a natural deepening of the Groupโ€™s commitment, giving a formal structure to its international initiatives to develop electrification for underserved communities and engaging them in a shared vision.

Fondation Nexans supports:

The development of electrification

to reach underserved communities around the world, giving priority to grassroots-level organizations and reliable and sustainable solutions, thereby meeting the UNโ€™s Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No poverty) and Goal 7 (Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy)

Education and training

for all in the fields of technology, the energy and the environment (SDG 4, Quality education)

Environmental studies in fields related to electrification

(climate, energy efficiency, preservation of resources and biodiversity)
