Foyer wants to ensure a better future

Though labels…

Foyer is always looking for ways to improve. The company met the Luxembourg Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility Institute (INDR) criteria, and was therefore able to renew its “Socially Responsible Company” accreditation on 4 June 2021. Of the 100 companies that have received the accreditation so far, Foyer was the only insurer to have obtained and renewed its certification. This award is a testament to the group’s commitment to CSR.

Foyer Group also collaborated with Payroll Giving Luxembourg, Infogreen, AEIN…

…and partnerships with Gov & NGO organisations

In January 2009, the Foyer Group concluded a partnership agreement with the non-profit organisation MyClimateLux. MyClimateLux activities are aimed in particular at making companies and the public at large, aware of climate change, the efficient use of energy and renewable energy sources, together with enabling voluntary compensation of CO2 emissions by investing in high-quality climate protection projects.

Since 2015, Foyer Group is also a partner of Microlux, leader in Luxembourg in microfinance activities. In January 2020, during its CSR Fair, Foyer Group launched a new award, the Foyer Microfinance Award, for microfinance projects in Luxembourg. For the second time in October 2021, Foyer Group supported micro-entrepreneurs through My Microbusiness Awards, with the presence of Pierre Gramegna, the Minister of Finance.
