At Bestherm, we believe that a company is not just about manufacturing and distributing products: it also has a role to play in society. It is in this spirit that, on August 12th, we donated 310 radiators to the Agency du Don en Nature*, an organization that has been fighting material hardship in France for over 15 years.
A Solidarity Commitment to Support Families in Need
Giving a Second Life to Radiators in Perfect Working Condition
The radiators we entrusted to the Agence du Don en Nature had minor cosmetic defects that made them unsellable. Rather than storing or destroying them, we chose to give them a useful second life. These devices will now be installed in homes that truly need them, bringing warmth and comfort to families in difficulty.
Promoting the Circular Economy through Equipment Reuse
This approach fully aligns with the principles of the circular economy. By giving these radiators a new purpose, we reduce waste while supporting households facing material hardship. It is a concrete way to combine solidarity commitment with responsible consumption.
A Tangible Impact for Households Affected by Energy Poverty
310 Radiators Redistributed through a Network of Local Associations
Thanks to this donation, the Agency du Don en Nature has already been able to redistribute the equipment through 9 beneficiary associations across 8 departments. These local partners ensure the radiators are made available to the families they support daily.
Improving Thermal Comfort for Hundreds of Families
Beyond the numbers, the impact is above all human. These are better-heated homes, children who will be able to spend the winter in better conditions, and parents who will face the cold season with greater peace of mind.
Energy Poverty: A Major Challenge in France
Millions of Households Facing Heating Difficulties
In France, energy poverty remains a reality for many households. According to the National Observatory of Energy Poverty**, nearly 3.5 million households report feeling cold at home in winter due to insufficient means to heat themselves. Added to this is the fact that one in five French people lives in material hardship and struggles to access essential everyday equipment.
Why Access to Efficient Heating Is Essential Daily
In this context, access to efficient heating is not just about comfort. It is an essential condition for well-being, health, and dignity. Thanks to this initiative, hundreds of families will benefit from improved thermal comfort this winter.
