Thierry Merlaud, Manager of Societal Engagement and SNCF Foundation Representative for Nouvelle-Aquitaine, spoke early about the partnership:
“I believe we have a strong partnership with TAPAJ. It is highly cross-functional and positively impacts several of our societal initiatives: addressing homelessness in stations and supporting the integration of people far from employment.”
The success of the first collaboration in Bordeaux paved the way for expansion to cities like Pau, Marseille, Paris, Lille, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Avignon, Nice, Clermont-Ferrand, Poitiers, Libourne, and Lyon.
In 2023, new, unique partnerships emerged. One example is a project combining waste sorting with both social support and circular economy goals. This initiative began with a meaningful encounter with Xavier Deneuville, Supply Chain Coordinator in France—an engaged professional with a strong commitment to social causes.

Guided by an Illustrator and a Photographer: A Lively Mural at SNCF’s Technicentre La Mulatière
With the guidance of an illustrator and a photographer, young aspiring artists created a vibrant, original mural that now brightens the walls of the SNCF Technicentre La Mulatière. Both the participants and the project team are delighted with the result—and so are we!
This is yet another inspiring story of encounters and constructive partnerships, driven by the efforts of Anne-Sophie Courbière, Eva Fouldrin, and Dominique Mounier.
The Adventure Continues…
And we can never say it enough: A Huge Thank You to SNCF and its teams for their support and collaboration!
