Philanthropy and Sponsoring
In line with its corporate purpose, the Group is committed to supporting civil society in each of the geographic areas in which it operates, in order to build a better, sustainable world in which economic development and social progress go hand in hand.
Collective and unifying impetus in favor of education, culture and the environment
The Group is stepping up its philanthropic activities with the Societe Generale Philanthropy programme, which marks the new collective and unifying impetus the Group wants to give to its commitments, as announced in its strategic roadmap presented in September 2023.
Following on from the Group’s CSR ambitions and its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, the Group is now focusing its philanthropic actions on education, culture and the environment, which are essential to living in a society. The Group is thus capitalising on its long-standing commitments to classical music (since 1987), contemporary art (since 1995) and the education and professional integration of young people (since 2006) by extending its focus to the environment, in keeping with its strategy to support the environmental transition of its clients and its activities.
By focusing on actions that strengthen our social bonds, Societe Generale intends to contribute to the construction of a more inclusive and sustainable society.

Move for Youth
As an illustration of our local roots, the Move for Youth initiative rolled out since 2021 now mobilises more than 20% of the Group's staff members, from almost every geographical area in which the Group operates, over a 10-day connected and charitable challenge for the education and professional integration of young people.
Move for Youth is an international charity event within the Group that demonstrates the power of collective action for a single cause with so many different local realities. It's a powerful and symbolic undertaking, demonstrating our staff members’ ability to mobilise, their support for the Group's charity policy, and their desire to contribute to a better, sustainable world.
