Societe Generale signs two international charters on inclusion and diversity

The ILO Global Business and Disability Network Charter
The ILO Business and Disability charter sets out ten commitments covering different areas: protecting disabled persons from any form of discrimination, promoting accessibility in all its forms, raising awareness and combating stereotypes about persons with disabilities, taking measures to support employees who acquire a disability, etc.

By signing this charter, Societe Generale will join the Global Business and Disability Network set up by the ILO. This network comprises multi-national companies, employer and employee organisations and NGOs and aims to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workplace around the world. The network facilitates the sharing of knowledge and best practice between companies, networks and the ILO.
The United Nations Women Empowerment Principles

As part of the Global Compact initiative, the UN has set out Principles that give practical guidance to businesses and the private sector on how to achieve gender equality in the workplace. There are seven Principles combining action on the ground and influential structural initiatives.
Societe Generale is already highly committed in this area and intends to promote its existing initiatives and encourage the sharing of best practice between Group entities in terms of non-discrimination, healthcare, well-being, education, training and professional development. It hopes to instil renewed momentum with a forward-looking approach to empowering women, which will extend to its external stakeholders (corporate development, supply chain, community initiatives, etc.).
