Social commitments guided by our purpose 

At Orange, our fundamental belief is that everyone has a role to play if they are given the right conditions to find their place in society and express their potential. We have therefore been working closely with local communities for decades to promote inclusion and help rebuild social ties. 

Digital inclusion: committed to all 

By promoting connectivity, inclusion and the development of digital skills, we are committed to making digital technology an opportunity for all. In all our locations, we act to make it a lever for progress and equality, focusing on three key areas: equipping, informing and training. In 2023, we took concrete steps towards meeting our commitments. 

Committing to digital inclusion means first and foremost making digital technology accessible to all. We are transforming this ambition into reality by fighting the digital divide in all regions. 

Aware of the challenges of equality, we offer mobile and internet services that are accessible to all: families, young people, senior citizens, people with disabilities, disadvantaged groups, and so on. In 2023, we achieved our goal of deploying a connectivity service in every European country in which we operate, adapted to those who are isolated from the digital world for economic reasons. As a result, 22 countries now offer an affordable mobile device enabling internet access. 

Working for digital inclusion also means providing training so that everyone has the opportunity to develop their digital skills. Thanks to our Foundation the Orange Solidarité association and the creation of dedicated Orange Digital Centers (see opposite), we promote social and professional integration and entrepreneurship via digital technology. In total, since 2021, 1.8 million people have benefited from one of our free training courses. 

In all our locations, we contribute to the social and economic development of societies through access to essential services. 

In 2023, we continued our actions in favor of access to education, energy, health and financial independence through digital. We want digital technology to be a real opportunity for everyone.
