At Saint Jean Industries, sport has always embodied our values of surpassing oneself, solidarity and cohesion. This year 2024 has been marked by two major international sporting events, strengthening our ties between our teams in France and China. A sporting collaboration born of a long-standing partnership
These initiatives are part of the partnership exchanges between the Communauté de Communes Saône Beaujolais (CCSB) and the city of Changshu, a project initially instigated by our Chairman, Emile Di Serio. These exchanges have brought our employees together around meaningful sporting challenges, while strengthening the ties that unite our two locations.
The Changshu Half Marathon: Saint Jean Industries energy in action
In October, a delegation of ten runners from Saint Jean Industries SAS crossed continents to take part in the Changshu Half Marathon, in the region where our Chinese subsidiary is located. This sporting adventure was a unique opportunity to share an unforgettable moment with our Changshu colleagues, and to proudly wear our colors on the international stage.
The challenge highlighted the team spirit that underpins our company, while testifying to our determination to go ever further, together.
The Beaujolais International Marathon: the ultimate sporting celebration
A few weeks later, it was the turn of a Chinese delegation to take part in the Marathon International du Beaujolais 2024. The delegation was warmly welcomed to the Saint Jean Industries headquarters in Belleville-en-Beaujolais, where they received their race numbers in a convivial atmosphere.
Accompanied by around thirty members of Saint Jean Industries SAS, they took to the festive roads of the Beaujolais region, perfectly embodying our values of sharing and friendship between cultures.
A team spirit that transcends borders
These two events are much more than just races: they symbolize a shared vision that transcends borders and reinforces our identity as an international company. Whether in Changshu or Belleville-en-Beaujolais, our teams demonstrated their commitment, enthusiasm and desire to build cultural and human bridges together through sport.
Congratulations to all our participants!
