Our missions

Réseau Excellence operates on a not-for-profit basis as part of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), under the French law of 1901.

Réseau Excellence brings together companies in each region that have been awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (EPV) label.

Its mission is to coordinate a regional and national network of these EPV companies, with the aim of strengthening communication between them and contributing to their development by supporting them in such important areas as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), for example.
