PARTNERSHIPS
The Pasteur Institute and
the Pasteurdon
In 2008, Tarifold was one of the first French SME sponsors of the Pasteur Institute, supporting a research project on autism conducted by Prof. Bourgeron and his team. We have proudly been a sponsor ever since.
In addition, we participate in the yearly Pasteurdon event, a charitable initiative organized by Tarifold in collaboration with the Pasteur Institute. It is an annual event dedicated to raising funds for scientific research and medical breakthroughs.
The Pasteurdon brings together individuals, organizations, and communities to contribute towards advancing knowledge and finding solutions to global health challenges. During this event, Tarifold employees participate in different team contests.
Special Olympics International
Special Olympics is the first organization dedicated to the development of people with intellectual disabilities through sport. The Special Olympics Movement was born in 1968 in the United States, thanks to an exceptional woman, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Convinced of the transformative power of sport, and personally concerned, Eunice Kennedy Shriver dedicated her life to improving the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.
Today, Special Olympics is present in 200 countries and counts nearly 5 million athletes. In France, 700,000 people live with an intellectual disability. Every year, between 6,000 and 8,500 children are born with an intellectual disability. Together with their families, millions of people are concerned and affected in their lives, yet remain invisible to society.
Special Olympics' ambition is to enable as many children, young people and adults with intellectual disabilities as possible to experience the joy of sport. By multiplying sporting events, Special Olympics also wants to change the way society looks at disability.
In line with this ambition, every year since 2015 Tarifold has taken part in the Special Olympics Lingolsheim inter-company race. It's an opportunity to unite employees around a noble cause, and to spend some quality time together.
Everyone can take part in a Special Olympics sporting event, according to their abilities and desires, without elitism, performance criteria or age limits.
The SeaCleaners
Tarifold sponsors a French NGO called “The SeaCleaners” who fights against plastic pollution in our oceans that threatens ecosystems, economies and human health. We co-finance the “Manta” Project, which is a cleaning boat, scientific laboratory, educational tool and driver of a circular economy.
The plastic-hunter ship The Manta is the first factory boat of its kind. It is the first seagoing vessel capable of collecting, processing and recycling (in continuous flow) large quantities of macro plastic waste floating at the surface of the ocean. The design focuses on many innovative technologies in the field of renewable energy production enabling it to minimize its global carbon footprint while maximizing its energy self-sufficiency.
The Manta also has an optimized maneuverability and large scope which not only allow it to rapidly reach the most polluted areas (many along the coast, in estuaries and in the mouths of the 10 largest rivers where 90% of the ocean’s plastic pollution comes from) but also in areas polluted by recent weather or natural disasters.
We contribute to this ambitious project by donating 0,02€ for every 10 of our pockets sold.
