The LES COLLECTIFS association is a network of professional citizens created to transform companies from within, particularly through collectives of committed employees.
Together, we have brought together around a hundred collectives, already involving thousands of employees and carrying out hundreds of actions to develop projects and practices and strengthen mobilization around these ecological and social issues.
Our history in a webinar
The association was created by 27 employee collectives, which existed prior to the association and had been formed independently of each other in 27 different organizations.
In April 2021, these 27 collectives signed an open letter in Les Echos, which served as the founding act of the association.
Our successes
The Committed Employees Award, a ceremony organized in partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation to celebrate employee commitment.
The expansion of the network to more than 130 collectives and employees involved in more than 300 organizations
The intensification of our advocacy with management and our recognition by the general public.
10 active local communities, with regular meetings among committed employees
Our community
300+ companies in the LES COLLECTIFS community (including two-thirds of the CAC 40)
130 mature collectives, in companies of all sizes and beyond (public institutions, local authorities, etc.)
40+ collectives in the process of being created, supported by LES COLLECTIFS
15 local groups in France
10,000+ people committed from within
Our governance
Our association was founded by members of collectives and is still run today by volunteers, whom we call our core team. This team is mainly made up of current or former members of employee collectives.
Within the leadership team, we operate on a collegial basis: our “Collegial Council” acts as the executive committee. Our operationnal team, presented below, coordinates the association's projects and the work of the volunteers.
