Economy
Evolve performance models to better integrate human capital, cooperation, and responsibility.
Public-interest association
Kindness as a force for action.
Founded in Pau in 2021, Benvivo works toward a sustainable way of living better together through four main themes: economy, ecology, society, and health.
What is kindness?
A relational ethic that transforms how we decide and act.
Kindness is genuine attention to others, grounded in respect, empathy, and a willingness to support. It goes beyond politeness to become a demanding way of relating to one another.
In leadership and governance, it directs decisions toward the common good and creates a climate of trust, cooperation, and mutual respect.
Faced with environmental, social, and health crises, it becomes a lever for collective resilience and the transformation of social and institutional dynamics.
Our fields of action
Four main themes, one shared vision.
Ecology
Recognize nature’s intrinsic value and embed ecosystem preservation in every decision.
Society
Strengthen cohesion, inclusion, solidarity, and collective responsibility across communities.
Health
Promote well-being, person-centred care, and respectful working conditions.

What we believe in
Four convictions that keep us on course.
Respect for the living world
Respect nature, people, cultures, traditions, history, previous generations, and the commitments we make.
Cooperation
Challenge ideas, listen to different viewpoints, and collectively build more ambitious responses.
Ethics
Act honestly toward ourselves, others, nature, and our environment, guided by quality of work life, social responsibility, and the SDGs.
Gratitude
Know how to give thanks, appreciate what life offers us, and turn recognition into care and commitment.
Our compass
The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Adopted in 2015 by the 193 United Nations Member States, the 2030 Agenda brings together 17 SDGs and 169 targets. Through its cross-cutting approach, Benvivo contributes to the six priorities of France’s roadmap.
