1 2007 FOCUS on Corporate Social Responsibility at Société Générale Retail Banking and Financial Services. Global Investment Management and Services. Corporate and Investment Banking
2 OUR VISION Consistent growth of our Group would not be possible without this trust - a value that forms the very basis of our activities and can only be achieved by taking into account the needs and concerns of all of the company's stakeholders. Société Générale is well aware of its responsibility to the environment and to society at large. As a major driver of wealth creation and development, the banking industry makes a significant contribution to economic and social progress.this places us under increased scrutiny, and means that our responsibility to society as a whole is perceived differently from that of other businesses. We know this because we listen to our stakeholders - civil society is becoming increasingly demanding over the extent of our responsibilities, meaning that we need to incorporate CSR considerations into all levels of our business, both upstream in our purchasing and sourcing procedures, and downstream in the environmental impact of our financing activities and in our relationships with customers. Société Générale s core strategy is to create lasting value for its shareholders, clients and staff. Yet this objective is only meaningful if it forms part of a broader policy of corporate social responsibility designed to promote social development and environmental protection. We choose our activities, suppliers and partners according to their ability to generate sustainable value, using a transparent selection process and at the same time encouraging increasingly open and constructive dialogue in order to create a climate of mutual trust. Our attitude of being constantly aware and our policy of ongoing reflection and improvement are deeply embedded in our corporate culture and form the basis for our corporate values - professionalism, team spirit, innovation - and ethics. It derives from our commitment to constant progress and is based on the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact to which we conform once again this year. Société Générale has made corporate social responsibility an integral part of its business, taking into account the specific geographical, cultural, social and economic characteristics of each country where it operates. Daniel BOUTON, Chairman 2
