CNP Assurances is a partner of ChangeNOW 2026, an international summit dedicated to innovative solutions for the planet and society. It will take place from 30 March to 1 April in the nave of the Grand Palais in Paris. Over three days, CNP Assurances will highlight its commitment to a more inclusive society through two initiatives: hosting a dedicated space and showcasing social innovation stakeholders. Marie-Aude Thépaut, the Group’s CEO, will outline the CNP Assurances’s commitments during a panel discussion on inclusion in the workplace.
A hub dedicated to positive impact initiatives
In a space entirely dedicated to inclusion, CNP Assurances will showcase several initiatives led by partners supported by the Group. The CNP Assurances Fondation, which is dedicated to the physical and mental healthcare of young people, will also be highlighted.
On its stand, CNP Assurances will encourage each visitor to take a photo and post on their LinkedIn account with the hashtag #CNPForInclusion. For each publication CNP Assurances will make a donation to the NGO Handicap International.
Four practical initiatives showcased at the CNP Assurances stand
CNP Assurances will highlight four practical initiatives that illustrate its commitment to a more inclusive society:
- Entrepreneurs de la Cité (EDLC) – outreach micro-insurance solutions and support for micro-entrepreneurs, including the pioneering “Trousse Première Assurance” scheme.
- Idesam – initiatives in the Amazon fostering a sustainable bio-economy and the generation of income for local families.
- Têtu Connect – awareness-raising activities and inclusive recruitment to boost diversity at companies, including LGBTQIA+ integration.
- Wecare@work – digital and human support for sick employees or caregivers and their professional entourage for a more inclusive work environment.
Through these practical initiatives, in France and Brazil, CNP Assurances is taking action to address major contemporary social challenges and promote a more inclusive society.

The session, entitled “Inclusion does not happen by accident: disability and inclusion in the workplace”, will highlight the human and economic value of inclusion and the actions taken by CNP Assurances and Humanity & Inclusion to strengthen the position of vulnerable groups.
“Inclusion is at the heart of CNP Assurances’ corporate mission. Alongside Groupe La Poste, we are firm believers that diversity and equity are essential drivers of social cohesion and sustainable performance.
It is through constant innovation that we are bringing insurance within reach of those who currently have little access to it. As a responsible insurer, investor and employer, we take concrete action to ensure that everyone, regardless of their life journey or vulnerabilities, can find their rightful place in society.” said Marie-Aude Thépaut, Chief Executive Officer of CNP Assurances.
