CSR
Our charity and solidarity actions in Poland
For more than 15 years, Societe Generale Branch in Poland has been supporting projects of NGOs addressing children and young people at risk of social exclusion to equalize their opportunities through education. Our partner foundation is: Fundacja Dobrych Inicjatyw (Foundation for Good Initiatives)
The foundation implements educational projects to support children and young people in foster care institutions. Their goal is to discover and develop the children's interests and talents, providing them with positive experiences during a variety of workshops, such as setting and achieving goals, creating budgets, effectively managing financial resources, or gaining their first work experience, what eventually will facilitate their start into their adult lives.
Volounteering
Our colleagues also take part in an educational project initiated by the Warsaw Banking Institute, called BAKCYL. The program aims to equip young people from primary and secondary schools with essential knowledge about economics and cybersecurity, while fostering entrepreneurial thinking.
Every year, our employees volunteer as instructors, delivering engaging lessons and sharing their professional experience directly with students. Through this initiative, we help strengthen financial literacy among young people and support the development of skills that will be crucial for their future careers.
Being involved through sports
The active involvement of our employees in charity and solidarity activities through sports is an important pillar of our CSR program. As members of the Societe Generale running team, participants not only take part in athletic events but also help raise additional funds that directly support the charity and solidarity initiatives of our partner organizations.
Launched in 2013, this initiative has attracted more than 200 employees who have joined local Societe Generale team events to date. Each year, we take part in several major running events, including the Ekiden Relay Marathon and the Warsaw Marathon, strengthening our commitment to community engagement, teamwork, and a healthy lifestyle.
Supporting music and young artists in Poland
We have been a proud partner of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw for 18 years. Every year, our Branch honors the University's most talented students and sponsors the release of an album featuring their performances. To date, we have recognized 60 young artists and supported the production of 20 albums, helping them take their first steps in their professional musical careers and promoting Poland’s rich cultural heritage.
