24/09/2024 - As a mission-driven company, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa organized a clothing collection this summer among its employees in partnership with the association Abi29. Based in Finistère, this association promotes employment through textile recycling and second-hand sales. Nearly 3.5 tons of clothing were collected during the operation at our offices in Brest.

The clothing collection organized this summer by Crédit Mutuel Arkéa aimed to support the professional integration of the association's employees while promoting the circular economy through second-hand sales and textile recycling.

This action is in line with the five commitments made by Crédit Mutuel Arkéa as a mission-driven banking group:

COMMITMENT 3: TERRITORY AND LOCAL VITALITY

We are committed to accelerating the support for our territories and sectors in their challenges to maintain and develop local vitality.

COMMITMENT 4: SUSTAINABLE TRUST AND INCLUSION
