HERITAGE AND BIODIVERSITY
A gaming offer that contributes to maintaining French heritage
Heritage
FDJ UNITED and its Foundation are instrumental in bringing disused heritage sites back to life. Since 2018, FDJ in France has run a game called “Mission Patrimoine” (Heritage Mission) in partnership with the Heritage Foundation, the Stéphane Bern mission, and the Ministry of Culture. The FDJ Foundation supports the social and professional inclusion initiatives deployed on Heritage Mission sites. Our commitment to these causes brings new life to local areas, helping build social cohesion and economic diversity.
Biodiversity
FDJ UNITED is one of the first lotteries in Europe and in the world to invest in preserving biodiversity and protecting the ecosystem of our forests. In October 2023, FDJ in France launched a new scratch game called “Mission Nature” (Nature Mission) in partnership with the OFB (French Office for Biodiversity). The Group has also made a substantial financial commitment to the OFB, supporting projects around forest biodiversity preservation and restoration of marine ecosystems.
