Our commitments

Société Générale's CSR policy consists in putting these commitments into practice and continually looking for ways to progress. It consists in ensuring that our Corporate and Social Responsibility is clearly reflected in our businesses. In 2005, the Group published an internal directive on sustainable development and corporate and social responsibility outlining the bank’s targets, obligations and commitments along with its policy for sustainable development and the resources to hand.
Ever since it was founded in 1864, Société Générale Group has been a fervent defender of human rights in all of its business practices and each of the countries in which it is established, and has long advocated a social policy that promotes the development of the individual.
As a company governed by French law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights are part of the corpus of guiding principles that govern Société Générale's day-to-day operations. The bank also upholds the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, as well as a number of major international conventions such as that of the International Labour Organization.
