Love Thy Community III: Impact Lead Edition: Paris

For the third edition of Love Thy Community we spotlighted the incredible work of our Impact Leads across our retail locations.

These passionate team members are the heart of our community efforts. They are the ones connecting our stores to the causes that matter most. They help us stay grounded in purpose by finding local organizations to partner with and building real relationships that make a difference.

Thanks to them, the impact we make together doesn’t stop at one store or one city -  it ripples across communities around the world.

“I decided to become an impact lead because I believe in the power of businesses to drive positive change in society. The opportunity to lead and spearhead initiatives that create a tangible difference truly inspired me.”

Chloé Danjou, Paris, HR manager

“I’ve been volunteering since I was seven. Through it, I discovered the true meaning of giving back. Now, as a leader, I strive to instill that same spirit in my team and inspire the next generation to carry it forward.“ 

Souleymane Diouf, Paris, Food and Beverage General Manager

“I’ve always wanted to get involved in the charity sector, and Kinnect has given me the perfect opportunity. It’s incredibly rewarding to help identify local organizations to partner with, bring those partnerships to life, and make a positive impact on others.”

Jérémy Szymanski, Paris, Footwear Manager

“From the moment I joined Kith, I was drawn to the brand's charitable efforts, and the positive impact it could have on people’s lives. Recognizing that we are not all born with the same opportunities in life, my main motivation lies in finding ways to bring joy and light to both children and adults.” 

Malou Galopin, Paris, Apparel Manager

The Paris team participates in an annual race to raise funds for a pediatric cancer hospital in the city. Employees who take part describe it as an incredibly rewarding experience, an opportunity to connect with the community, support a deeply meaningful cause, and witness the direct impact of their collective efforts.

National Youth Day in France is a day dedicated to celebrating and empowering young people.  Each year to celebrate, the team takes a group of children from Fête le Mur Stains, a local nonprofit that uses tennis to support youth from underserved communities, to Parc Astérix, a popular theme park.

The Paris Impact Team brings Earth Day to life by getting involved in hands-on volunteer projects. From planting greenery to caring for local spaces, participants learn about sustainability, teamwork, and the impact they can have on their community - all while celebrating the planet.
