Community projects
The creation of the Rexel Foundation is testament to the Group’s commitment to engaging with the local communities where it has a presence by supporting projects which seek to improve access to energy efficiency for all. The Rexel Foundation believes that this ambitious goal can only be achieved through a collaborative approach, which is why the Foundation establishes partnerships with non-profit organizations, other foundations as well as Rexel’s customers and suppliers. Thanks to the close synergies between our stakeholders expertise and Rexel’s own expertise and operational infrastructure, the Foundation can act as a catalyst to better address the energy challenges facing everyone today.
