Act together for the fulfillment, development and protection of the individual.
Driven by the desire of its employees, Newrest group is committed to the individual by creating its foundation. Endowed with 1.5% of the group's consolidated annual net income, many solidarity projects will thus be able to come to life.
We are delighted to launch this corporate foundation, which responds to a deep-seated aspiration of our collaborators as well as a personal conviction.
The individual is at the heart of our business. Through this foundation, we aspire to support each individual at every stage in realizing their full potential. This means, of course, being able to benefit from quality and structured education.
We also want to enable them to rise or rise again through the values and framework conveyed by sport. Endowed with 1.5% of the group’s annual net income, a number of solidarity projects will be launched. All these actions will be carried out in each of the countries where we operate, on a permanent basis, and beyond Newrest group’s core activities.

The foundation will help finance the construction of a boarding school for young people in Asni, a village devastated by the earthquake. This boarding school will enable 500 students to continue their education in a safe and comfortable environment.
This association, founded by Amal Zniber and Abdelmajid Dahbi Skali, has been working since 2006 to improve educational conditions for children in the country’s most disadvantaged regions.
Thanks to their work, many children have already benefited from renovated classrooms, toilets, water fountains, trees, libraries and books.
We are proud to participate in this initiative and welcome the remarkable work of the Amis Des Ecoles association. They contribute to the advancement of education in Morocco.
A look back at the Fondation Toulouse Cancer Santé Partners Club’s night!

Last May, Matthieu Jeandel, Chairman of Foundation Unlimited, attended the “Fondation Toulouse Cancer Santé” Partners’ Club evening.
It was an opportunity for our chairman to accompany Doctor Clément Larrue, who presented the ‘Chair of Integrated Research into the Treatment of Acute Leukaemia’, known as the ‘CRISTAL – Unlimited Chair’, funded by our foundation.
We will be supporting this research programme on acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) for 3 years.
Acute myeloid leukaemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This disease leads to the destruction of blood tissue, causing serious haemorrhaging and severe infections.
The research project proposed by our Foundation Unlimited aims to better understand the cellular mechanisms that promote resistance to therapies in AML and to discover new vulnerabilities in cancer cells.
We are very proud to support this project led by Dr Clément Larrue and Prof Christian Récher, in the METAML laboratory of the CRCT (Centre de Recherches en Cancérologie de Toulouse).
Act together for the fulfillment, development and protection of the individual. ✨ 💧 🌱

The Foundation Unlimited supports the Fondation Zakoura.
Since 1997, the Zakoura Foundation has been actively involved in human development through the education of children, the training of young people and the empowerment of women. To date, it has had a positive impact on the lives of 1,376,730 children, young people and women. In the face of daily challenges, it strives to provide quality education facilities for children in the most isolated and inaccessible regions.
The Al Haouz earthquake in September 2023 caused significant material damage. Thanks to funding from Foundation Unlimited, the Zakoura Foundation is working to rebuild the Imine Ouassif primary school, which was partially destroyed by this natural disaster.
The aim of this project is twofold: to rebuild the school and to develop an innovative educational model that combines academic knowledge, creative activities and a stimulating environment for the 90 pupils involved.
We are very proud to be supporting the Zakoura Foundation.
Act together for the fulfillment, development and protection of the individual.
