The Pierre Fabre Foundation
For 20 years, the Pierre Fabre Foundation has been establishing and developing long-term programs with our network of local partners - hospitals, universities and patient associations - to provide the poorest populations with better access to prescription drugs and high-quality health care. Through these 5 areas of intervention, we are also investing in international advocacy and research to act comprehensively, take action and fight against economic imbalances.

Employee shareholder scheme
The employee shareholder scheme was one of Mr. Pierre Fabre's own initiatives.. He wanted to pass his company on to his employees. He always looked for ways to give them a stake in the company's profits by setting up employee savings plans such as success-sharing and profit-sharing schemes.
In 2005, the Pierre Fabre employee shareholder scheme was unveiled and the company's share capital was opened up to employees. Each employee can now be a shareholder and joint owner of the company.
The organization of Pierre Fabre's share capital is unique and guarantees the company's independence and sustainability:
- the Pierre Fabre Group is privately owned
- our internal network of coordinators informs and supports employees
- our training on business economics makes each employee an informed shareholder.
To date, the employee shareholder scheme is available in 10 of our subsidiaries.

As coordinator of the shareholder scheme, I am in charge of passing on the key messages as well as the enthusiasm inherent to this collective project. From a financial point of view, the employee shareholder scheme is a long-term savings plan, and I hope to benefit from it when I retire.
