Our Community engagement initiatives

The Group implements community actions with a positive impact on society and that bring on board customers, universities, and partners thanks to commitment from employee volunteers, through fund raising, volunteering with charities, and other initiatives of public interest. For example, in the United Kingdom, as part of the Tech for Good programme, Sopra Steria has established charitable partnerships to help over a hundred children through various initiatives: company visits, workshops to develop green skills, virtual work experience, and internships. In Belgium, as part of the Safe and Fun programme, employees raise youth awareness on the risks of using the internet.

The Group implements community initiatives through two foundations, in France and in India. Since 2001 and thanks to the Group’s backing and employee volunteers, the Sopra Steria-Institut de France Foundation supports charity projects using digital technology to advocate community and environmental causes. For its part, the Sopra Steria India Foundation fights poverty and promotes education for underprivileged youth, especially young girls. This programme provides assistance in the form of skills development, infrastructure, and computer equipment in schools, as well as financing for the Scholarship Programme supported by fund raising initiatives across several Group countries.

Sopra Steria has for several years been supporting international organisations working in particular to protect the oceans through financial sponsorship and skills. With the Join for Water organisation in Belgium, Sopra Steria finances a water management project supporting underprivileged populations in Uganda. In Germany, Sopra Steria works to protect the environment and water with the Fleetenkieker e.V. organisation in Hamburg.
