Launched by Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform (CA-GIP), Heart Month is back this year to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation
This year’s Heart Month will be kicked off by Philippe Brassac, CEO of Crédit Agricole S.A., Olivier Biton, CEO of CA-GIP, and guest of honour Teddy Riner.
The Group backs this initiative by CA-GIP, which has been supporting the cause for 13 years: the programme for the month includes opportunities to gather and share at a number of entities and Regional Banks.
A “Marche du Cœur” walk will take place from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. on 13 March 2025 at CA-GIP sites* or close to where employees live, both in France and abroad. Employees are encouraged to take part in the walk either alone or with colleagues. Participants should report the distance they cover via a dedicated questionnaire. Each kilometre walked will be converted into a donation to non-profit organisations Le Rire Médecin and Montagnes d’Espoir.
A four-day, four-night “Course du Cœur” race from Paris to Bourg-Saint-Maurice will take place from 19 to 23 March 2025, crossing the catchment areas of four Regional Banks (Crédit Agricole d’Ile-de-France, Crédit Agricole Champagne-Bourgogne, Crédit Agricole Franche-Comté and Crédit Agricole des Savoie). CA-GIP employees will once again be visiting branches to raise awareness among customers.
