Its objective was to give fresh impetus to its philanthropic activities by bringing all of its corporate patronage initiatives under one roof and by extending its scope to other themes that are in line with the challenges facing our society today.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, Wendel\u2019s corporate patronage activities have been organized around two themes: education and culture, through its long-term partnerships with the Wendel International Center for Family Enterprise (Insead) since 1996 and with the Centre Pompidou-Metz since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Wendel Cares would like to finance initiatives that correspond to one of the five areas to which it has made a commitment.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>culture,<\/li>\n<li>education,<\/li>\n<li>equality of opportunity and integration into employment;<\/li>\n<li>medical research and healthcare;<\/li>\n<li>environmental protection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In accordance with the commitments set by Wendel Cares, the members of the endowment fund this year selected three associations that will be supported for three years with an annual review.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #9e835a;\"><strong>Medical research and healthcare with HELEBOR <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>HELEBOR helps develop hospice care in France and improve the quality of life for the gravely ill and their families.
