Tandem solidarity for Oasis

19 February 2010 - Sustainability - France

On 19 February, the VINCI Foundation presented the Oasis association (which runs an organic market garden, with the aim of promoting social and professional inclusion, and is affiliated to the Cocagne network) with a €28,500 cheque towards the construction, applying ecological principles, of its future headquarters. This support forms part of a twofold sponsorship project: two VINCI Construction France employees, Gaëlle Burlot and Ludovic Demierre, along with the twenty student engineers from the VINCI Construction France cohort at ÉNISE (the national engineering school in Saint-Étienne), will be making their skills available to the association. This team will provide Oasis with technical advice (drawing up eco-construction specifications, assessing the building’s energy performance/ carbon footprint, presentation on the construction trades, survey of prices), and helping it to redefine the organisation of its activities.
