The rules governing the creation and operation of a corporate foundation are defined by the law of July 4, 1990. Such a foundation is established to carry out actions of general interest of a philanthropic, educational, scientific, social, humanitarian, sporting, family, or cultural nature, or contributing to the preservation of artistic heritage, the protection of the natural environment, and the promotion of French culture, language, and scientific knowledge. The legislation stipulates that a corporate foundation is a separate legal entity, authorized to include the term “corporate foundation” in its name. It must develop a multi-year action plan with a minimum duration of five years, accompanied by a budget of at least \u20ac150,000. Furthermore, its board of directors must include at least one-third members recognized for their expertise in the foundation’s areas of activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the personal involvement of certain executives, a corporate foundation represents a means of communicating the company’s image, while also serving as an internal communication tool. It stands out as a specific form of corporate philanthropy. For example, the Herm\u00e8s Foundation logo illustrates this approach, while the Areva Foundation provides a concrete example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[332],"class_list":["post-169165","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-intellectual-property-marketing-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/169165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=169165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
