Since 2009, “Saving lives” has been a major pillar of the commitment of Fondation CNP Assurances. After supporting more than 3,000 local authorities for the acquisition of defibrillators, in 2019 it signed a major partnership with the Sauv association. More recently, “Saving lives” has been rolled out with the French Red Cross.

These partnerships ended on December 31, 2024. Our Fondation has chosen to refocus its efforts on the health of young people, who are facing a deterioration in their physical and mental health. Find out more

We are proud to have supported the projects of these partner associations.

 

SAUV Life : the app that enables citizens to help the emergency medical services

Fondation CNP Assurances has been a partner of the SAUV (Savoir Agir face à l’Urgence Vécue, or “knowing how to act in an emergency”) non-profit since 2019. SAUV launched the collaborative geolocation application SAUV Life as a support for citizens who provide aid in medical emergencies.

In 2021, the Foundation is supporting SAUV Life's new project: the creation of the community "Citoyens de choc", renamed "Citoyens santé". It now has more than 630,000 members.
The "Citoyens santé" are trained in life-saving techniques and equipped with a latest-generation connected mobile defibrillator (AED).

This system, which is in the public interest, is complementary to the emergency equipment used in the regions: it is based on the latest technology and enables the coverage of a greater area and a reduction in social inequalities.

Cardiac arrest

Having supported over 3,500 regional and local authorities in 10 years and installed over 4,800 defibrillators, the foundation has amply fulfilled its role as a forerunner. It has decided not to launch another call for projects to explore new life-saving programmes.

In this regard, two programmes were approved by the Board of Directors on 17 June 2021: they aim to strengthen civic engagement and promote the inclusion of the most vulnerable members of society (isolated elderly people and people in need). 

These projects focus on support in the form of defibrillators, training and awareness-raising programmes in life-saving techniques:
- within the establishments of the Petits Frères des Pauvres association
- within Secours Populaire Français centres.
