TEAM SPIRIT AND CITIZEN COMMITMENT FOR THE GROUP’S 150 TH ANNIVESARY Outstanding commitment was on display at the Citizen Commitment Games, held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Societe Generale. Twenty thousand employees and 900 teams from around the world took up the challenge, raising €907,738 for the Group’s charitable partner organisations. The grand final, played at the National Rugby Centre in Marcoussis, brought together 2,000 employees from 30 countries. FINANCIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMES Societe Generale’s teams are involved in initiatives helping young people learn to independently manage their finances and budgets. In 2015, nearly 200 employees in France volunteered as part of a programme led by Societe Generale and Crésus, an organisation that provides debt assistance. The programme is expected to reach 3,000 young people over the course of the year. Similar initiatives are being conducted in many other countries: notably in Morocco, assisting the population as the use of banks becomes more widespread; in Albania, where Societe Generale has teamed up with Global Money Week; in the Czech Republic, where the Group’s subsidiary Komerční banka and its KB Jistota foundation help young people through the international Skills to Succeed programme; and in Spain, where a team of permanent volunteers manages a financial education programme in partnership with the Fundación Integra. SOCIETE GENERALE 2014-2015 I 53 “THIS FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE BECAUSE IT COMES FROM COMMITED PEOPLE. It draws its strength from the hundreds of people who wanted to make a difference and inspires an enthusiasm that you don’t see in other types of financial support. It also inspires us and makes us want to go further.” Charles-Edouard Vincent, founder of Emmaüs Défi, an organisation supported by the Citizen Commitment Games, and member of the Board of Directors of the Societe Generale Foundation Watch the video at www.societegenerale.com/ citizen-commitment-games Watch the video at www.societegenerale.com/ financial-education
