Community projects 2025
Our CSR Working Group, also known internally as our ChariTEAM, coordinates our community engagement initiatives. It selects charities and projects aligned with our purpose focusing on innovation, employability, inclusion and youth development and with an emphasis on measurable impact and active employee involvement.
In 2025, two projects were selected for their strong alignment with these priorities and the opportunity for hands-on engagement from our team.
Team4Jobs
Eight colleagues joined the Team4Job mentoring program, committing time over several months to support jobseekers in their return or access to the labour market. As mentors, they provided practical guidance on CV preparation, interview readiness, professional positioning and network access.
At Cobepa, we are proud to contribute to local employment through the growth of our portfolio companies. With Team4Job, we had the opportunity to create impact at a micro level by mentoring someone who is actively looking for a job. It was a great lesson in listening, showing empathy, and providing continued support.

Urban Youth Games
We strongly believe in the power of sport as a driver of personal development for young people. That’s why we partned with the Urban Youth Games, a large-scale, inclusive sports event that brings together children and teenagers from diverse backgrounds. Through sport and play, it promotes values such as inclusion, respect, teamwork and self-confidence. Several colleagues volunteered on-site to support logistics and coordination and champion the Olympic values.
The Urban Youth Games were a great reminder of how sport can bring together people from different backgrounds. Helping to create those moments and seeing the kids smile was not just rewarding, but also a lot of fun.
