Société Générale

⏳📸 Flashback to Societe Generale’s old-time occupations that no longer exist today. From the Groom to Coupon and Collecting clerks, let’s (re)discover these forgotten professions held by employees who were essential to the smooth running of branch activities.   In the early years of the 20th century, the Groom was the “first face” of the bank, who was responsible for greeting customers but also in charge of:  - Stamping collection bills - Transporting mail, - Handling logistics, - Carrying out administrative tasks if necessary, - Ensuring the security of the premises, particularly at the entrance to the safe deposit vault. On occasion, he could also go along with the Collecting Clerk during his rounds on due dates.   In 1934, Societe Generale opened a dedicated training school for Grooms, also enabling them to move up the hierarchy. Louis Dorizon, Managing Director of the bank from 1909 to 1913 started out in a branch as a Groom before rising through the ranks.

Notre-Dame de Paris will reopen its doors on the 7th of December! 🔔   After the April 2019 fire, the iconic cathedral is once again ready to welcome the public. Following the disaster, nearly 340,000 donors including Societe Generale answered the call to contribute to its restoration and the Group made an emergency donation of 10 million euros through the Fondation du patrimoine.   🙏 A big thank you to everyone who participated in this exceptional project led by Etablissement public Rebâtir Notre-Dame de Paris. Together, we have worked to preserve an invaluable historical treasure. © David Bordes et Romaric Toussaint – Rebâtir Notre-Dame de Paris

🚴♂️🛴Green mobility will conclude our summer series dedicated to discovering the eco-responsible initiatives and solutions deployed by the Group around the world. Whether non-motorised (walking, cycling, etc.) or motorised (car-pooling, car-sharing, etc.), green mobility refers to all means of transport that produce little or no pollution. To encourage alternative means of transport (bicycle or electric bicycle, scooter or electric scooter, electric unicycle), the Group has set up a number of infrastructures and services such as: - The electrification of our car fleet (programme underway), - Parking spaces for traditional bicycles/electric bikes, traditional scooters/electric scooters, unicycles, - Car-sharing services for professional or personal use and car-pooling for home-work journeys, - Charging stations, repair points and bike-sharing services, - For certain sites, specific facilities such as a shuttle service for teams in Chennai, India. The results speak for themselves; these actions have already led to a reduction of more than 655 tonnes of CO2 equivalent and savings of close to 170,000 euros. By working together for more sustainable mobility, the Group is actively contributing to preserving the environment and reducing its carbon footprint.
