Natacha Alaux, General Secretary of RAGT, renews RAGT's commitment to sport and local communities

RAGT has been supporting Rodez Aveyron Football Club (RAF) for over 40 years.

The RAGT Group is a close partner of many athletes in its home region, and has been supporting the RAF for over 40 years. It is proud to renew its commitment to this emblematic club.

This partnership, officially renewed at the Vabre training ground in the presence of Natacha Alaux, Secretary-General of RAGT, and Grégory Ursule, General Manager of the RAF, illustrates a relationship of trust and proximity that has lasted for more than 40 years.

A common history, shared roots

Founded in 1919 by farmers from Aveyron, RAGT has become a major global player in seeds and agricultural services, while retaining a strong link with its rural and local roots. RAF, for its part, was founded in 1929 and has risen through the ranks of French football to become a professional club playing in Ligue 2 BKT, while remaining faithful to its values and its local area.

The growing influence shared by RAGT and the RAF reflects their ability to combine performance, innovation and a clear attachment to their home region.

Shared values

This partnership is based on solid foundations, nurtured by values deeply shared by RAGT and the RAF:

  • team spirit, the driving force behind collective performance
  • ambition, a lever for progress and excellence
  • a passion for the field, whether agricultural or sporting

These values are fully reflected in RAGT's commitments, whether to farmers, whom the Group supports in their present and future challenges, or through its support for local initiatives that bring life and vitality to the region.

A strong commitment to regional sport

As well as supporting the RAF, RAGT has always been committed to regional sport. By supporting clubs, events and local sporting initiatives, the Group makes an active contribution to Aveyron's dynamism.

The RAGT Group wishes the entire RAF team a season full of success, cohesion and shared emotions.
