Affirming our role as a corporate citizen
Amundi's patronage policy
In 2013, Amundi confirmed its patronage policy in three pivotal areas: Culture, Education and Solidarity. Our long-standing commitments bear witness to our attachment to building a trusting relationship with our partners.
Working with international culture player

In 2013, Amundi celebrated the tenth anniversary of its patronage of the Académie de France in Rome, as a staunch supporter of the Villa Medici which contributes to the cultural influence of France and to enhancing the national heritage by supporting budding artists.
The Académie has three major projects: the Malraux mission for cultural activity, which enables high-quality exhibitions to be held every year; the Colbert mission, supporting the work of resident artists; and the conservation of cultural heritage, through which the Académie preserves artistic masterpieces linked to its history.

Amundi has also elected to extend its commitment to Maestro Myung-Whun Chung by supporting the Asia Philharmonic Orchestra (APO), a pan-Asian orchestra initiated and directed by the Maestro.
The APO groups together the best concert musicians in Japan, South Korea and China to foster bonds between these countries through music. This partnership shows our lasting confidence in Maestro Chung and his cultural vision.
Developing our support for education

Amundi has been committed to promoting education through different partnerships for more than six years. The source of this action was the creation in 2007 of the Bondy branch of the Radio France Choir (”Maîtrise de Radio France) with Amundi's support. We continue to support the Choir today so as to offer disadvantaged children the highest-quality musical training.
The curriculum combines traditional classes with lessons with the Choir. The Maîtrise de Bondy offers young schoolchildren singing, musical, piano and vocal technique lessons.

Another facet of Amundi's action for education is the involvement of our employees who support local initiatives, notably the Indian charity Akanksha funded jointly with our partner SBI MF in 2013.
This commitment provided one year's funding for an Akanksha educational centre in India, enabling the charity to help children in the slums of Mumbai and Pune gain access to education.
Promoting solidarity initiatives in-house

Solidarity is the third pillar of Amundi's patronage policy, notably through our long-standing support to the charity Action Contre la Faim (Action Against Hunger). Since 2004, Amundi has been helping the charity in its initiatives for vulnerable populations in the fields of nutrition, healthcare, food security, water, sanitation and hygiene.
Every year, Amundi's employees pull together for Action Contre la Faim by running in the Interco Challenge at the Parvis de la Défense near Paris, a fundraising race.

In 2013, Amundi launched the first edition of its Give a Hand programme, which aims to encourage and empower employees' personal projects in environmental, socially responsible, social and humanitarian fields by providing financial backing. In 2013, Amundi funded 12 projects ranging from starting up a sewing class in a social welfare centre in Vietnam to hiring clowns to perform in an institution for autistic children on rue Falguière in Paris.

Amundi has also been a sponsor of “Nos Quartiers ont des Talents” (Our neighbourhoods have Talent) since 2012, a charity promoting equal opportunity and helping young graduates from depressed areas to find jobs.
