Sport, a channel for solidarity and positive values

The many partnerships already in place to encourage

active involvement in sport and support the sporting

aspirations of local communities underline its

importance to the Group. Most recently, Phosphea

signed a partnership agreement with Serbian

football club Dunav Prahovo. TIMAC AGRO Brasil

sponsors the ‘WinBelendon’ and ‘FirstSaque’

non-prof it projects for underprivileged young people.

The initiatives run by both organisations involve

more than 300 children and teenagers from socially

disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them integrate

more fully in society through participation in sport.

In France, the Group’s sports association hosted the

22

nd

‘La Passagère’ mixed terrain race by inviting all

900 entrants to run from Dinard to the Quai Intérieur

production plant in Saint-Malo. Part of the funds

raised were donated to the annual AFM Téléthon TV

marathon broadcast to raise funds for the French

Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Supporting causes we care

about with the backing

of our partners

Commitment to local communities is integral

to the corporate culture of our Group.

By supporting social, cultural, sporting and

environmental non-prof it organisations,

we make a tangible contribution

to the development of the communities

and regions in which we operate.

A new corporate philanthropy partnership policy

for the Group

For priority commitment 5, we wanted to structure a

corporate philanthropy partnership policy that would

ref lect our history and DNA, and help us develop

genuinely meaningful partnerships. The resulting ‘Bold

and Inclusive Entrepreneurship’ policy was formalised

in 2023. The title indicates our desire to work with those

who lead voluntary, sports-related and employment

projects with ambitious goals, but who struggle with

issues around social and/or employment inclusion.

A number of f inancial support and skills sponsorship

projects will emerge in 2024 to involve employees

actively in these positive social impact initiatives.

Magna and its local roots

The 80-year relationship between

Magnesitas Navarras and the valley

communities of northern Navarra

in Spain is a perfect illustration of

the level of long-term commitment

shown by our Group. Throughout

this time, the consistent goal has

been to create long-term value

for the region by encouraging the

quality and rich diversity of its non-

prof it networks. This commitment

has translated into the provision

of support for many different

non-prof it organisations, including

the Remonte Foundation, which

promotes active involvement in

the sport of Pelota originated in

northern Spain, and the ‘Osasuna

Magna’ futsal team that f lies the
