INNOVATING TO PRODUCE RESULTS
WORKING WITH
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
AÉROPORTS DE PARIS
More than 114,000 people work every day at our airports, which host more than 1,000 companies(1) and generate 340,000 jobs(2). We invest alongside the public authorities and local and regional stakeholders so that local areas and their residents can benefit from the economic vitality of these three strategic Greater Paris clusters. PROMOTING LOCAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Together with our partners, we promote our territories through the Pôle d’Orly cluster and through Hubstart Paris Region® for Greater Roissy. Companies in the Pôle d’Orly cluster are based at Paris-Orly, while Paris-Charles de Gaulle houses the Hubstart Paris Region® business incubator.
DEVELOPING JOBS Numerous agreements bolster our cooperation with local authorities. The skills, employment and training observatory analyses changes in airport-based jobs and the skills required. The Environmental and Sustainable Development Resource Centres serve the communities and their residents, and play an important role in promoting these skills. Aéroports de Paris has signed the three-year national agreement promoting employment in priority areas and the charter between businesses and local neighbourhoods and is a partner in the Roissy-CDG Public Interest Group for Employment. Through these programmes, Aéroports de Paris supports a range of integration, professional training, mobility and housing assistance initiatives under the “Plant’AIRport” umbrella. More than 2,000 residents living close to the Paris airports benefit from these services. AéroCompétences (AeroSkills), for example, offers free training leading to qualifications in 14 airport-based jobs. HELPING THE MOST DISADVANTAGED Under the auspices of the Fondation de France, the Aéroports de Paris Foundation supports nonprofits that help underprivileged local populations. The Foundation is active in three areas: health and disability, employment and training, citizenship and combating social exclusion. In 2014, the Foundation granted €667,764 to 72 projects.
