Edouard Mandin, a mentor and ambassador for the VINCI Foundation, is the owner of the Provence-based company Citeos Bandol. He contacted the foundation a few years ago in search of initiatives to fund, motivated by the desire to encourage his employees to think.“We work to create value not just in economic terms but also at a social level, and to help promote our communities,” he says.

Employees of Citeos Bandol participate in additional charitable endeavors out of a desire to help the less fortunate: “We can help people simply by giving some of our time. The VINCI Foundation provides funds and asks us in exchange to give our time. It’s important to use this opportunity to show solidarity with those in need,” concludes Edouard.

Citeos is a brand of VINCI Energies that focuses on energy efficiency, low-emission transportation, and the promotion and preservation of urban areas in France. Citeos is a member of the VINCI Energies group, just like Comsip.
