Furthering the commitment of employees and clients alike
The Fondation d'entreprise Société Générale pour la Solidartié (Société Générale Corporate Foundation for Solidarity), created in 2006, intervenes mainly to help integration of young people as well as the fight against illiteracy. The Société Générale Foundation supports projects on a national scale as well as local initiatives, especially in France.
Société Générale also gives its support to Talents & Partage, an association set up bu current and retired employees of the Group. The initiatives of Talents & Partage essentially focus on disadvantaged children, education & training and disabled people, as well as on the provision of healthcare, with precedence generally accorded to local measures.
