On March 5th, Lydia Ludic agents went into action for a blood donation. Lydia Ludic has been consecrated with a remarkable example: Francis Perez, the President of Grupo Pefaco, the parent company of Lydia Ludic, upon its founding in 1995, was determined about the social aspects of the company.

In an interview granted to an online African newspaper, Afriquinfos, he conveys his commitment: “We transmit our work ethic and moral values to our subsidiaries, with the aim of taking part in the development of local communities, through various social, environmental and cultural projects”. Based on this ground it is not surprising to see the employees of the company follow their President’s example and contribute to the company’s dedication.

Early March, the subsidiary Lydia Ludic Burkina Faso sponsored a blood drive – organized by the association SOS Sang – in Ouagadougou, and all naturally the majority of the employees donated their blood on this day.

An exemplary role model set by company managers plays an important part in the employees’ mentality. Such spirit and actions have a strong impact on a company’s external and internal environment, as Grupo Pefaco has proven over time. To see more photos of the blood drive, click here.

A month ago, Mr. Pierre-Michel Pons, General Manager of Lydia Ludic Burkina Faso, was invited to the Voluntary Work Day in the French Institute of Ouagadougou as a guest of honor to convey the commitment to social projects of Lydia Ludic.

Following the event, Lydia Ludic Burkina Faso, a subsidiary of Grupo Pefaco, decided to take part in the financing of a social project. Many projects were assessed within the following weeks, until on November 19th, the jury (including Mr. Pons amongst others) eventually selected a social project.

Damien Delahaye, volunteer at Solidarités International and responsible of the project of “building a preschool center in an underprivileged area of Ouagadougou” with the association Enfants & Développement, was the one who got the grant from France Volontaires and Lydia Ludic.

The parties sealed the final agreement in Koubri, a town nearby Ouagadougou, binding them to the development and the achievement of the project. Through this gesture, Lydia Ludic Burkina Faso confirms its commitment to the social policy of its founders, Messrs. Francis Perez and Olivier Cauro.
