Tony PARKER and Marie-Sophie OBAMA's club wanted to enable sport to unleash its full power by becoming a player in the transformation of society.

The club actively combats stereotypes, advocates for diversity, uses sports as an educational tool, promotes inclusion in educational and underprivileged communities, fosters collaboration between public and private partners, and champions the cause of gender equality.
To transform the LDLC ASVEL féminin club, Goodness&Co and LDLC ASVEL have joined forces to develop the "Empower Yourself" program. The program is built upon four robust pillars dedicated to fulfilling its mission: "LDLC ASVEL Féminin puts its passion at the service of society so that every girl, every woman, can realize her dreams and become the captain of her life”. These four pillars include Body & Mind positivity, feminization of management teams, growing through sport and female entrepreneurship. To bring each of these pillars to life, the program incorporates a series of actions including support for individuals and businesses, organizing events to promote the club and foster connections, and showcasing inspiring career paths through testimonials. Goodness&Co plays an active role in defining these pillars, the actions to be taken and how to implement them in practice.
'« We were able to engage in this process thanks to the invaluable expertise of Goodness&Co, a unique platform that supports companies in their positive transformation. The founder of Goodness&Co, Isabelle GROSMAITRE, has been with us from our first thoughts on creating an innovative professional sports club model, right up to the present day. It's only logical that she should be our mentor for the Empower Yourself program. »
