Overview

GROUPE SOS was launched in 1984 to tackle social exclusion in all its forms. Since then, it has gradually diversified its activities, and now responds to societal needs in 8 sectors of activity: Youth, Employment, Solidarities, Health, Seniors, Culture, Ecological transition and International action. With 18,000 employees, 550 establishments and services and a turnover of €950M, GROUPE SOS is the first European social enterprise. By placing social innovation at the core of its practices, the group shows that it is possible to build a solid organisation, capable of creating and sustaining its economic activities, while maintaining a strong social impact. Our mission is to enable everyone, whatever their career path or income, to access quality services that meet their essential needs: education, housing, social inclusion, occupational integration, access to health care, and care and support in old age. We are also developing plans to facilitate much greater access to culture, as well as a new agricultural and ecological paradigm. We operate in 44 countries in projects involving health, voluntary work, education and training, and also support social entrepreneurship. GROUPE SOS develops by creating new working models and through the associations, centres and companies that join us. These organisations can pool expenditures, stabilise their financial status, develop synergies, institute best professional practices, innovate and grow. They can thus meet ever better the needs of our society by introducing new solutions to today’s key social, economic and environmental challenges. Let’s keep in touch !
