Our associative partners (associations)
Urban Services, which develops the ICI application, holds the Social and Solidarity Enterprise accreditation. This ensures that our primary objective is the pursuit of social utility. In practical terms, our commitment is reflected through a balanced distribution of our revenues between retail partners, community organizations and Urban Services. We’ve chosen to collaborate with associations whose approaches are aligned with our project’s criteria. Their regular beneficiaries will find value in our free access to public toilets, whether for health or precarity reasons.

Association: La Cloche
The association La Cloche develops programmes and activities aimed at changing perceptions of the homeless and fostering the creation and maintenance of social bonds through “doing together” among neighbors with and without homes, to build a more inclusive and supportive society.
Its “Carillon” project is a network of solidarity-minded shopkeepers who open their doors to people experiencing homelessness or precarious situations by providing free services such as access to water, phone charging, and more… some of them may also offer their customers to pre-pay for products such as coffees, meals, haircuts, and more, that will be later consumed by those in need.
Our partner companies
The values promoted by Urban Services are reflected throughout the implementation of our solution. That’s why we also choose suppliers with a similar approach to ours.
