Nexity: Committed To Community
From the SAMU Social (municipal humanitarian emergency service) reception centres and the social integration of young people from priority
neighborhoods to the fight against domestic violence, the Nexity Foundation, created in 2017 by its employees, supports numerous social
actions. “After Storm Alex, my staff in the PACA region showed great generosity,” cites, as an example, Lionel Seropian, administrator of
the Foundation, who joined forces with the Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur to come to the aid of victims in the La Vésubie and La Roya valleys,
in particular by rehousing them and providing them with material aid. Created in 2018, Nexity Non-Profit aims to produce rented family
accommodation for disadvantaged people. In accordance with the group’s commitments, the business model for this activity is financially
neutral, with family rental properites integrated into the group’s real estate operations and then managed by partner associations.
