The John Cockerill Foundation works for the safety of young people in the use of new technologies. We are the partner of ECPAT Belgium, member of ECPAT International, the only network exclusively dedicated to the fight against (sexual) exploitation of children.
True to our convictions, during the Covid-19 crisis we coordinated and deployed actions to respond to frontline health needs. The objective was to support existing initiatives and/or create new ones for the benefit of structures such as hospitals, reception centres, Red Cross, health care workers, etc. John Cockerill Group employees wishing to take part in these actions during their period of temporary unemployment were given the opportunity to express themselves via an internal appeal. In total, around fifty employees contributed directly or indirectly to the actions carried out. They were joined by a volunteer network of almost 50 external volunteers.
Every child, regardless of his or her family situation, has the right to develop in an environment that provides well-being and dignity.
