For its 2026 New Year's wishes, Hellio continues its social impact strategy alongside the Lazare

For the second year in a row, Hellio, a global player in energy management, wanted to give its New Year's wishes a strong social impact. In support of the Lazare association, which develops intergenerational shared housing between young professionals and homeless people to promote their social reintegration, this initiative mobilizes the company's employees, clients, and partners around a concrete and charitable action.

Convinced that the company has a decisive role to play in addressing the challenges of isolation and precariousness, Hellio is transforming its wishes into a lever to create social connections, support isolated people and take concrete action at the heart of local communities, continuing the approach initiated last year.

A solidarity box for concrete action

To mark the start of the year, Hellio sent its customers and partners a package containing:

A packaged thermos, designed to be given to an isolated or homeless person;
A fun card game, designed to encourage exchange and discussion;
Chocolates to share.

Partner companies are invited to pass on this donation to a person in a situation of economic or social hardship, freely and voluntarily.

Hellio also commits to donating to the Lazare association the difference between the traditional gift basket sent at the beginning of the year and the cost of the system deployed.

Back in 2025, the Lazare association had already benefited from the group's impactful wishes, on the occasion of which Hellio had transformed the allocation for corporate gifts into direct financial donations.

This initiative underscores the urgent need to build connections, raise awareness about poverty, and take action to reintegrate isolated individuals. Indeed, every year, four million people have no more than three conversations, and 500.000 are in a state of "social death."

An impact strategy aligned with the energy transition and social inclusion

Since 2021, under the leadership of its president Pierre Maillard, Hellio has been implementing a value creation strategy aligned with its role as a key player in the energy transition, coupled with a strong social commitment. This approach aims to exponentially increase the company's impact on society, combining energy consumption reduction, the fight against poverty, and support for social and environmental projects.

With its 400 employees and 12 local locations, the group continues to extend its positive impact throughout France, systematically linking its actions to its mission as a responsible company.

Committed partnerships in the service of solidarity

Committed to fighting energy poverty, Hellio is a founding member of the “Stop Energy Exclusion” collective, which brings together 60 organizations working to promote solidarity, ecology, and the economy. As such, the group works to reduce the out-of-pocket expenses for the most vulnerable households, while also seeking concrete solutions to improve their living conditions.

These commitments are also extended through concrete and meaningful partnerships. Since April 2023, Hellio has been collaborating with the Lazare association and skipper Tanguy Le Turquais to promote the values of solidarity and inclusion directly linked to the group's charitable initiatives.

For Pierre Maillard, president of Hellio: “This initiative is not just a one-off: it is fully in line with our impact-driven business strategy, which aims to mobilize our entire ecosystem to create social connections, support isolated individuals, and accelerate the energy transition. Every action counts, and these wishes are a concrete way to put our values into practice.”
