Fondation Nexans

Energy to transform communities

The Nexans Foundation supports projects that help expand access to energy and improve living conditions for vulnerable communities. Since its creation, it has promoted sustainable electrification initiatives designed to generate lasting social impact, recognizing energy as an enabler of development, safety, inclusion, and new opportunities. 

An initiative with regional impact 

In Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Chile, the Nexans Foundation works alongside Group companies and social organizations to bring electrification solutions to communities facing gaps in access to essential services. Through partnerships such as the one developed with LITRO DE LUZ, solar lighting projects and volunteer initiatives have been implemented to help create safer, more sustainable, and better-connected spaces, bringing the benefits of electrification to those who need them most. 

These initiatives have reached communities across all three countries, adapting each project to local needs while combining the knowledge, resources, and participation of social organizations and Nexans employees.

Impact of Partnerships That Continue to Grow

Since 2016, the Nexans Foundation has supported five initiatives in Brazil, led by four organizations carrying out projects in the states of Amazonas (AM), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). More recently, the NGO Litro de Luz received funding for two consecutive years, in 2022 and 2023. The partnership began with a project to install thirty sustainable solar-powered light poles, transforming the lives of 115 families in the Bongabá Quilombola community in Magé, Rio de Janeiro.
