GIE Targanine has benefited from the support of our long-standing customer BASF Beauty Care Solutions (formerly Cognis France), to create a social fund. The fact that 56% of the cake price is paid into a development fund by this customer demonstrates a real commitment to improving the living and working conditions of Targanine members.
This social fund is a valuable opportunity which makes it possible to finance social, cultural and health initiatives. It enables tangible improvements in various areas affecting women’s lives. Social initiatives include education, vocational training and family support programs. Health initiatives cover medical services, awareness-raising and prevention programs, and measures to improve sanitary conditions.Cultural initiatives aim to promote local traditions by supporting local artists andfacilitating access to cultural events.
REINFORCED DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
All GIE Targanine cooperatives have certifications and labels that strengthen their credibility as GIE members, increasing their sales and profitability. By scrupulously following fair trade guidelines, GIE Targanine, helps cooperatives to support themselves and develop entrepreneurial principles and self-esteem. We place particular emphasis on targeted campaigns to help women cooperative members such as distributing food baskets and organizing medical caravans for their health needs. In addition, we are committed to improving the living conditions of cooperative women by providing school. supplies for their children, and by setting up kindergartens where their children can be looked after during working hours.
Thanks to this collaboration between BASF Beauty Care Solutions and GIE Targanine, we are working together for a better future by supporting cooperative women and promoting their personal and professional development.
