MICROSOL The Rexel Foundation financed a study conducted by the social enterprise, Microsol, focusing on the feasibility of developing voluntary carbon schemes in the field of energy efficiency in the Andean zone of Latin America. The study found that increasing the value of carbon credits would ensure that electrification projects are sustainable while improving their social and environmental quality.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS The Rexel Foundation created a dedicated platform allowing social entrepreneurs to benefit from the resources offered by the Group and its partners (clients, suppliers, NGOs, top universities): skills sponsorship, donation of material resources, financial, transport and logistics support, as well as knowledge-sharing tools. Support missions were launched from the first trimester of 2014.
