CSR Christmas initiative

1. Skills sponsorship, a win-win combo

During the holiday season, why not offer your employees the chance to take part in a skills sponsorship project for a day?

As part of a CSR approach to Christmas, companies can encourage their employees to get involved with associations working for solidarity, inclusion or the environment. Offering time and skills to help the underprivileged, accompanying isolated people or supporting ecological initiatives gives even more meaning to the festive season.

2. Eco-responsible gifts are even better

Christmas means presents, and perhaps you're giving some to your colleagues? Or are you planning to give them to your colleagues?

Although synonymous with joy, togetherness and happiness, the holiday season is also a time of over-consumption. So how can we please our loved ones without impacting our planet? With eco-responsible gifts!

3. A greeting card writing session to warm hearts

Unfortunately, the festive season is not a joyous time for everyone. People living in precarious situations are all the more isolated during this period. That's why it's so important to show our support and affection for the isolated and disadvantaged as the festive season approaches.

To do this, you can organize a greeting card writing workshop at your company.

The association Entourage launches operation Fat'Coeur a network of solidarity and mutual aid for people living on the margins of society! In concrete terms, you can write a greetings card, and the Entourage association will then pass it on to an isolated person, who will be delighted to receive a lovely note, full of affection and support.

4. A collection of basic necessities, but not only...

At Christmas, just like any other time of the year, you can collect essential goods within your company and donate them to a charity. Most of the products collected are :

• clothing
• hygiene products
• food

However, during the holiday season, you can also organize a gift drive. Many associations are mobilized to collect new or used toys: Emmaüs, Petits Frères des Pauvres, Secours Populaire, Secours Catholique, or even Dons Solidaires which appeals directly to companies. Adding a little holiday magic to the lives of the underprivileged!

5. Collective mobilization for the association of your choice

How about giving your Christmas present this year for a good cause?

AllColibri offers you the opportunity to give your employees the gift of a good deed. Planting a tree in Madagascar, restoring coral reefs, vaccinating a child, distributing food... The choice is wide. An opportunity to do a good deed, and give meaning to the holiday season. At OuiLive, that's the option we've chosen this year!
