For Hacina Py, Head of Impact Finance Solutions at Societe Generale, the sector will still be growing: “All regions should see increased ESG activity, to either finance the energy transition; build social infrastructures where huge needs arose during the Covid-19 crisis; fight against the dramatic loss of biodiversity; or finance SDGs [the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals] in general, especially in emerging countries.”
All around the world, experts working in the Societe Generale’s various business activities are developing innovative and responsible solutions that meet the three major issues of climate change, sustainable development in Africa and social progress.
This is a commercial goal that supports action favoring initiatives that generate a positive impact on sustainable development for the economy and society. This approach has been developed in the spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
