Laying the foundations for a model that transcends the usual patterns of capitalist companies, NAOS bases its system of governance on a shareholder foundation.
The originality of the model is based on the separation of capital and decision-making power with a view to creating value and ensuring the sustainable development of all NAOS activities in a spirit of loyalty, fairness and independence.
This system of governance sanctifies the company, its cause and its purpose.
This model makes it possible to manage two types of activity:
– economic activities through its companies
– generous activities through an endowment fund.

– on the one hand, by promoting the development of social projects that enable people who are destitute and/or suffering from mental distress to find the means to live and achieve personal fulfilment
– secondly, by revealing talents so that they can be put to good use in a social or artistic project,
– Also, by supporting non-profit educational and scientific activities, directly and indirectly affecting both young people and adults, in order to promote the realization of each individual’s human potential, their overall health (body-heart-mind) and their current or future contributing role in society,
– finally, by encouraging the development of social projects of general interest in line with individual or collective dreams.
Let us forge a strong link between the realization of human potential and the will to take care of oneself, others and the planet.
Across the globe, human and ecological challenges are immense, and armed and economic conflicts remain intense.
Prendre soin de chacun, en lui permettant de s’accomplir sans détruire, c’est aussi prendre soin de notre maison commune.
We wish to contribute positively, by supporting the concrete achievements of actors on the ground such as the Ozanam Course, as well as individual “Dreams of Life” bearers, and also through a more “systemic” change: by reaching today’s and tomorrow’s business leaders, in France and internationally, to enlighten them, equip them and enable them to move “from heart to action”.
By paying attention to life, to wonder, to the power to act and to the strength of soul of each individual, we carry a positive message to redefine the notion of development and progress in light of the intelligence of the heart.
