platforms, in particular through the MOUV’UP nationwide partnership
formed with the French federation of road safety associations for
education (FARE), which is deploying mobility services to
facilitate social mainstreaming and employment opportunities for
people who are vulnerable or isolated from the job market. A total
of 20 such platforms have been or will be created across France in
2013 and 2014.

programmes designed to remove barriers to mobility arising from
economic factors, cognitive impairments or address-based
discrimination.

past three years, the PSA Peugeot Citroën Foundation has worked to
make mobility a universal right. By locally supporting socially
responsible mobility projects wherever we operate, the Foundation
and our employees are demonstrating, every day, the values of
respect, responsibility and engagement that we cherish across the
Group. It is a great honour for me to lead this A World on the Move
Foundation and I am committed to ensuring that its initiatives are
pursued to impel the world towards an increasingly socially
responsible and sustainable mobility.
