Facebooks lives and videos are used to share information, tips and advice, but there are also guest speakers and a podcast (‘Galères de Jeune’) which gives a voice to young people who share stories of their own experience, choices, light-bulb moments, struggles and solutions.

Great precariousness and other projects – Evolem







Evolem is one of the founding members of this endowment fund launched by Alain Mérieux, bringing together Lyon-based companies in the fight against homelessness. What makes l’Entreprise des Possibles particularly innovative is how it pools human, financial and property resources and redistributes them to local community organisations working to reduce extreme insecurity. This plan does not aim to take the place of social services, to the contrary, rather to scale up their action by setting up a platform to provide an interface between companies and non-profits.

Our team






Following 8 years in the public arena (working with elected representatives), I moved to the general interest sector as a fundraising and strategy consultant for the SSE sector in 2009 (at the firm Alteriade) and have been at Evolem since 2014.
What motivates me in my work is bringing innovative solutions to different social and environmental issues we face to the surface and offering them support.
I joined Evolem for its values and the committed vision it has of the part companies play in designing a sustainable economic development model.

19 years working in support of APRIL, then Evolem.
I feel like I belong to a family business, whose values we are proud to uphold.
The company is continually developing, it exudes the entrepreneurship championed for many years by Bruno Rousset.

As a graduate of the ESC Pau Business School and of the Master’s degree in CSR Management at the University of Paris-Est Créteil, I became interested very early in the integration of sustainable development in the strategy and operation of a company.
Passionate about societal issues, I spent ten years supporting companies in the implementation of their CSR policy, particularly within the network Les Entreprises pour la Cité, which brings together companies committed to and invested in social innovation.
I joined Evolem’s CSR department to contribute to the development of its sustainable and philanthropic commitment, which is at the heart of its strategy.

I am a multidisciplinary industrial engineer with 20 years of experience in global and multicultural companies.
What motivates me in my job is to engage the teams in climate change mitigation and adaptation and to measure the impact of the actions initiated in this field.
Joining Evolem means joining a financial player with the will to use its levers to have a real impact on society and the environment.

After having studied in the field of health, I chose to reorient myself and I am currently enrolled in a program of studies in solidarity management at the École 3A – École internationale de management responsable. My specialization is in the solidarity economy and sustainable finance. As part of my studies, I am currently doing a work-study program at Evolem, where I work in the commitment department.
What motivates my activity is the possibility to contribute to building a fairer and more responsible world by working within a team that shares these values.
I chose to do my work-study in the commitment management team at Evolem because this company shares my convictions in terms of social and environmental responsibility, offers a work environment conducive to learning and is in line with my professional aspirations.

The mission of the Domorrow endowment fund is to support public interest projects in the field of the environment and ecological and solidarity transition, focusing on three priority areas: research and innovation; education and awareness raising; the circular economy and social integration.
