CMA CGM Foundation: meeting with Pap Ndiaye, Minister of National Education and Youth

During his official visit to Marseille, the Minister of National Education and Youth, Pap Ndiaye, visited the CMA CGM Group headquarters on November 17th 2022. The meeting was devoted to educational innovation, equal opportunities, inclusion, and commitment.
Pap Ndiaye met Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group and Tanya Saadé Zeenny, President of the CMA CGM Foundation. This is a clear recognition of the CMA CGM Foundation's commitment to education and equal opportunities, but also of its ambitious, innovative, and original incubation program: Le Phare.
Social entrepreneurs under the spotlight
This event was also the occasion for the Minister of Education to meet two social entrepreneurs supported by Le Phare:
- Meet My Mama is a committed caterer and a training school that offers a program to accompany women to enter the catering sector professionally.
- Nanaba is quality screen time for children, through a parental control system that integrates studying time on their favorite applications. Objective: family balance, academic success and control of access to certain multimedia content.
Le Phare, the CMA CGM Foundation's social incubator was launched in 2021 in Marseille. It supports innovative solutions in the sectors of education and professional integration. It is one of the Foundation's many initiatives to promote education for all and equal opportunity, particularly in Marseille.

A strong local presence
In Marseille, in partnership with the Aix-Marseille education authority, CMA CGM offers young secondary school students the opportunity to discover the shipping and logistics sector by providing them with numerous opportunities for professional experience, whether through company visits or work experience, particularly for students for whom access to this type of work experience is difficult.

350 youth projects supported since 2005,
