Governance
Our governance
On 14 January 1986, François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) tragically lost his life on a helicopter mission in the Malian desert. In 1989, his parents Albina du Boisrouvray and Bruno Bagnoud, his family and friends founded the first FXB Foundation (dissolved in 2019) as well as the NGOs Association François-Xavier Bagnoud in order to extend his rescue work and perpetuate the values of generosity and compassion that guided his life.
The FXB Global Foundation embodies the vision, cohesion and integrity of FXB's global values. It brings together all the achievements and organisations bearing the acronym FXB or the name François-Xavier Bagnoud since 1989 in order to protect its integrity and reputation, and to avoid anything that could harm them. Its ethics committee ensures the quality and relevance of the activities initiated. This committee, composed of representatives of the headquarters of the FXB Switzerland, FXB France and FXB USA, ensures that FXB's core values are respected and that its strategy is implemented. It consists of Albina du Boisrouvray, Stanislas Pottier, Didier Cherpitel, Diana Phillips, Christine Eggs, Alon Kasha, Mark Lloyd, Christian Nouel, Benjamin Pourrat, Jean Porrini.
FXB has head offices in Switzerland, France and the United States.
