Coherent, lasting initiatives
Société Générale's environmental sponsorship focuses on local, regular action.
To ensure the coherence and long-term future of its projects, Société Générale Group has defined an environmental sponsorship policy based around 3 core issues :
- Climate change : a headline-news, transverse subject, with the bank already involved in several initiatives,
- Biodiversity : an increasingly prominent issue with major economic consequences that will prompt the creation of future financial instruments,
- Water : a third and major priority in the financing and investment strategies of the Group's different businesses and for its Retail Banking Outside France network in countries that suffer from drought conditions.
Like the Group, the bank's sponsorship has a global reach and is firmly rooted in its culture and guiding principles of coherence, subsidiarity, synergies and innovation.
