Societe Generale has been a partner of the Fédération française handisport (French Federation for Disabled Sports) since 2003, reflecting its commitment to sports that place testing your limits, confidence and mutual support above all other values.

We focus particularly on initiatives designed to promote the social inclusion of young disabled people. Our Challenge Société Générale Handijeunes rewards those specialist schools and rehabilitation centres that play the most active role in promoting these objectives.

The 2010 Paralympic Games took place in Vancouver from 12th to 21st March. Societe Generale was particularly proud to accompany the athletes of the French Team on the Canadian slopes. The French delegation came away with six medals (one gold, four silver and one bronze) all in dowbhill events. As a result, they finished the competition in tenth place, which was in line with their objectives!

Now that the Olympic flame has gone out in Vancouver, the Group, on behalf of all its employees, would like to congratulate the 50 members of the French delegation for their outstanding performance on the Canadian slopes.
