COMMITMENTS

To face the spread of Covid-19, Societe Generale group has been fully engaged all over the world to ensure the continuity of banking services, to protect its staff and to support its clients. From the beginning of the health crisis, in every countries in which the Group operates, exceptional support schemes have been put in place to help mitigate the negative impact on the economies, in close link with the public authorities. Societe Generale teams have been quick to react everywhere, showing their capacity and willingness to back the efforts of public actors and associations to fight against the epidemic.

In addition to the work carried out by our staff in their professional capacities, Societe Generale is donating €1 million to the “All United Against Coronavirus” alliance, set up by the Fondation de France, the French public hospital authorities ("AP-HP") and the Pasteur Institute.
All United Against Coronavirus has launched a call to private individuals and corporates alike to support healthcare workers and researchers on the front line facing the emergency, and helping the most vulnerable. Societe Generale group has asked also its staff to join in with this movement for collective action.

Societe Generale became the official bank of rugby in 1987. Today, this partnership allows the bank to promote its brand from grassroots to top levels and to associate its values with those of rugby. This deeply-rooted commitment can be traced back to the beginning of the last century.

Societe Generale has been supporting The Evian Championship, one of the five major championships on the LPGA tour, since 2008. Through this longtime partnership, the Group contributes to the sport renown and popularity all around the world. In France, the Bank is an official sponsor of the French Golf Federation : we support its members in their pursuit and love of the sport.

Societe Generale has been deeply invested in arts patronage for more than 20 years.
The contemporary art collection (photography, paintings, sculptures, lithography, etc.), materialises the Group's support of artistic creation in France and abroad.
The development of the Collection went hand in hand with a desire to share contemporary art with the wider public, especially children. Guided tours, educational workshops, artistic projects and a growing visibility on social media have contributed to the sustainability of this commitment.
