Serve the City Paris has provided CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities and programs for over 200 large and small companies, universities and groups worldwide. In Paris, we arrange volunteer humanitarian and environmental eco-friendly activities and workshops with employees and students so they can contribute, and have a positive impact on the the city of Paris. Here is a partial list of the corporate groups and schools we have worked with in the past.
“The Success To Significance CSR Workshop provided by Serve the City Paris was an excellent and profound experience. The objectives we had for the evening included giving people a greater appreciation of their own lives as well as giving them a good experience of how it feels to help those less fortunate than themselves. We achieved our objectives for sure”.
