Contemporary art

The Societe Generale Collection is an ensemble of living art. Created in 1995 and combining painting, graphic arts, photography and sculpture, today it is a compendium of almost 1,800 works of art. Exhibited at the Group’s head offices in La Défense, in Paris and in Val de Fontenay, its vocation is to be widely shared. Employees, the general public, partners, clients, school groups and students can discover the Collection thanks to multiple interactions: installations, artistic workshops, loans and off-site exhibitions, etc.

Music and solidarity

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.

Societe Generale is also convinced of the essential and complementary role of charities in helping transform society. One of the Group's commitments is to support education and professional integration through charities dedicated to a broad range of individuals, and mainly young people experiencing financial and/or socio-cultural hardship.

Societe Generale also supports classical music, in particular to help young musicians launch their professional careers, and to make music accessible to as many people as possible while contributing to excellence in the field.

The Societe Generale group engagement policy embodies the Group's profound confidence in the future and supports education, professional integration and classical music both in France and internationally.

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.
