CSR

The goal of our corporate social responsibility is to defend this fundamental right: every child, whatever his social background and his life conditions, should have the right to play and to practice sport. We are committed to use rock-climbing to help uphold this right and to reduce inequalities. From the earliest moments, the emphasis is put on keeping a balance between the business and the opportunity to use the benefits of rock-climbing among those who need them the most.

The purpose of the Tac Ke project (“gecko” in Vietnamese) is to determine through a work with different disadvantaged children how sport and more particularly rock-climbing can be used as an efficient tool of social insertion. Hence, many cooperation are foreseen with various populations like street children, orphans or handicapped children. The Tac Ke project got the Chloe Graftiaux award in 2012.
