Groupe SOS

Our non-profits, facilities, social enterprises

Since its creation in 1984, Groupe SOS has assisted numerous impact-driven non-profit organisations and companies, in collaboration with their managing teams. It offers an innovative way of joining forces: the non-profit merger. For each case, we define a project aligned with the history, identity, values and goals of the organisation, while focusing on a common goal: to reconcile economic efficiency with the common good.
