Extra-financial ratings and reporting

An extra-financial rating agency evaluates the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy of economic actors. 

As a guarantee of the reliability and transparency of its CSR ambition and achievements, Societe Generale strives to obtain the best possible ratings from the extra-financial agencies to which the Group responds.

They enable us to benchmark our peers and help our stakeholders in their decision-making.
