The importance of association projects

Association projects and JEMS sponsorship

How to share business successes other than monetarily?

The societal aspect is a strong demand from employees. It is now at the heart of any company strategy.

We are proud that citizenship is one of the pillars at JEMS, and we are proud to support our colleagues in their actions.

Last September, one of our long-serving employees at their local civil defence branch asked us for financial support to help them.

«We needed a mobile unit to carry out our missions that was both comfortable, with maximum space, and all on the lightest possible vehicle.»

To receive, you must ask.

Eric therefore submitted his request in autumn 2021, a request that was immediately accepted. JEMS therefore participated in financing the trailer for Eric's civil protection association. «Getting involved with an association requires significant personal investment, and that's something we like to value at JEMS.» according to the president Jacques Benhamou.

The word citizenship, like citizen or civic duty, finds its origins in the Latin word City, the City, the Greek equivalent of Police Who gives the word «politics». Citizenship evokes belonging and participation in the political community.

«Acting as a citizen is a way of belonging to the community.»

What is civil protection?

The Civil Protection is an approved civil security association that falls under the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health. The association has three missions: TO HELP – TO RESCUE – TO TRAIN.

  • HELP
    During natural disasters and major events, the Prefect requisitions us to support public services if they are insufficient. Example: storm Alex, the Paris attacks, etc. Civil defence is deploying its resources to rescue the injured, care for those psychologically traumatised, ...
  • RESCUE: While we are usually only present at sporting, festive or cultural events to set up first aid posts, our missions have been extended since the health crisis. Home interventions at the request of the SAMU (emergency medical services), inter-hospital transfers of Covid patients, etc.
  • FORMER: We train citizens in first aid and issue them with PSC1 certification. We also provide initial and ongoing training for all our volunteers, covering subjects such as first aid, radio communication, psychological support, equipment usage, and more.
