Mid-April, the ALTRAD Group held its annual seminar at the Corum in Montpellier. The year 2025 marked the 40th anniversary of the Group, which was founded in Florensac in 1985. These four days were an opportunity to explore the themes of time and transmission, and also to bring together hundreds of employees to celebrate this special occasion. On the last day of the seminar, ALTRAD Solidarity had the pleasure and honour of presenting its activities and welcoming Mr Orso Chétochine, Chairman of the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association, to talk about the solidarity challenge for which the employees had rallied last December. For the first edition of this connected challenge, 1506 employees played the game of solidarity and covered almost 80 million steps. The five teams representing the five continents where the ALTRAD Group is present raised €120,000 for Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque so that ten children around the world can benefit from heart surgery. We would like to thank Orso Chétochine for coming to Montpellier, the Group's employees for their support and wish long life to Claude, aged 17, Djenabou, aged 13, Happy, aged 1, Mamadou, aged 8, Mouhalmadou, aged 10 months, Nagnouma, aged 1, Nissii, aged 1, Oumou, aged 18, Santatriniaina, aged 2 and Mariama, aged 1. Together, let's build the roads to the future.

Miroki : The Companion Robot Revolutionizing Pediatric Radiotherapy
For World Childhood Cancer Day, we had the honor of announcing that Miroki, the companion robot revolutionizing pediatric radiotherapy, will be arriving at the Institut du Cancer de Montpellier in April! ✨🚀 Developed by ICM and SIRIC Montpellier Cancer, this one-of-a-kind humanoid robot will support children during their radiotherapy sessions. Imagine: a 126 cm-tall friend, capable of moving, holding hands, speaking, and even mimicking facial expressions! Thanks to artificial intelligence, Miroki will provide invaluable emotional support and help make the treatment experience more positive. ❤️ This incredible project is a world first, and we hope it will transform pediatric radiotherapy care—first at ICM and then worldwide. Congratulations to all the teams making this breakthrough possible! ALTRAD Solidarity is extremely proud to be involved and to fully fund the entire scientific project over the coming years. Together, we can make a difference for children battling cancer.

Supporting Children Around the World
On December 5th, ALTRAD Solidarity launched its first connected challenge to engage all ALTRAD Group subsidiaries in a charitable initiative benefiting the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association. For ten days, employees were invited to participate in various activities that allowed them to earn points and, in doing so, save the hearts of children around the world. Using their pedometers, as well as completing photo and video challenges, our employees went above and beyond, making it possible to transform the lives of 10 children worldwide. These children, suffering from heart conditions, will have the opportunity to be sponsored by the association and benefit from comprehensive care, including transportation from their home country to France. Once in France, a host family will welcome the child and support them throughout their treatment journey. We warmly congratulate the 1,500 ALTRAD Group employees who mobilized for the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association. Through their efforts, they will significantly improve the lives of ten children awaiting surgeries that are otherwise unattainable in their home countries. Well done to all, and see you soon for more charitable actions!

Partnership for Humanitarian Emergency in Lebanon
Created in 1937 in the context of the Spanish Civil War, Plan International is an organization that works to advance the rights of girls, and more broadly of children and young people, as well as equality between girls and boys. The outbreak of violence in Lebanon has forced tens of thousands of Lebanese to flee their homes to seek refuge and has already claimed the lives of more than 100 children, which is why ALTRAD Solidarity wanted to engage with Plan International to respond to the most urgent needs and protect children and their families. In line with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) preparedness plan, Plan International's response is guided by three major strategic objectives over a 12-month period: Basic assistance to ensure the basic needs of families Protection of children by providing psychosocial support Access to safe and quality education for children. By supporting the NGO Plan International France, ALTRAD Solidarity is making a concrete commitment to help children and families displaced by this crisis in Lebanon.

Founded in 1897, Red Star FC is a soccer club based in the Paris region with the dual aim of “working the body and awakening the mind”. To perpetuate the visionary spirit of the club's founder, to contribute to equal access to culture in all its forms, and to develop the creative spirit of children on and off the pitch, Patrice Haddad, the club's President, offers educational, artistic and cultural activities and workshops to his members every year. Supervised by artists and professionals, the mixed-gender workshops take place mainly during the school vacations, and culminate in the production of a collective work to develop team spirit, creativity and pride. During the 2023/2024 sports season, ALTRAD Solidarity helped fund the “Red Star Lab Cinéma” for children during the school vacations, and is delighted to have awakened, perhaps, future vocations.

ALTRAD Solidarity supports CCCLF
As part of its prerogatives, ALTRAD Solidarity has responded favorably to a request for a grant from the CHILDREN'S CANCER CENTER LEAGUE FOUNDATION, whose aim is to develop and support any scientific and humanitarian work of general interest designed to promote access to treatment for children suffering from cancer in Lebanon and elsewhere, as well as cooperation with non-profit medical research centers, particularly those specializing in cancer research. The CCCLF, inaugurated in 2002, today provides support for 50% of children with cancer in Lebanon, from a few months to over 18 years of age, including children from neighboring countries and refugees. ALTRAD Solidarity's donation has helped to cover Zahraa's medical expenses and ease her family's financial burden at this difficult time. We are happy to hear that Zahraa is doing better, and that the assistance of the endowment fund has played a part in her journey to recovery.
