As a socially responsible company, Icade extends its action beyond its own businesses through a dynamic policy of patronage and sponsorship. The Group supports those who are committed, who are breaking new ground and pushing back their limits to imagine and build a more sustainable future.
Challenge, determination, a taste for effort and respect for surpassing oneself illustrate Icade's corporate culture. The company's sponsorship and partnership commitments reflect these values, which are shared by all employees.
Since 2018, Icade has been sponsoring the young French table tennis prodigy, Prithika Pavade, with a view to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Prithika Pavade already has numerous French Champion titles to her name, in both individual and doubles, as well as several European medals. Through this partnership, Icade is also demonstrating its commitment to the Plaine Commune region and the town of Saint-Denis (93).
Since July 2023, Icade has also been sponsoring Pauline Déroulède, a wheelchair tennis athlete and French hopeful for the next Paralympic Games in Paris 2024. This partnership is part of the Group's Diversity policy to promote greater inclusion of people with disabilities.
Icade is proud to support two great sportswomen in the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Through these sponsorships, we are transmitting the values of Icade: commitment, a taste for effort, inclusion and respect.

Icade sets up solidarity initiatives and involves its employees. The Group offers its employees the opportunity to get involved in making our territories more inclusive by working with associations that help vulnerable groups. The actions proposed include solidarity days, a solidarity challenge, and collections of clothes, toys and books for associations. In 2023, more than 200 employees took part in the solidarity days, volunteering a total of around 1,500 hours for 14 associations across France.
Icade is also a sponsor of archi-folies 2024: a unique encounter between sport and architecture! The sponsorship concerns the Olympic sports federations' pavilion in the France zone, a Cultural Olympiad project also supported by Caisse des Dépôts. Archi-Folies 2024 invites students from 20 French national architecture schools to draw inspiration from sport to create 20 pavilions to be installed in the Parc de la Villette during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Each school must design and build a pavilion that meets both the environmental challenges and the needs of its assigned Olympic federation, a unique opportunity for students to put into practice a new building culture in line with the ecological transition. Once the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are over, the pavilions can be reused as a legacy of the Games by any federations that wish to do so, or by local partners.
