Within the Innovators 2022, Societe Generale stood out thanks to Sustainability-linked Trade Finance and Global Treasury powered by Kyriba.

Each year, Global Finance magazine selects exceptional innovations in finance, honouring entities that regularly identify new paths and design new tools in finance. For the second year in a raw, Societe Generale is part of the recognised actors.

The key innovations being rewarded are the following:

  • In Trade Finance: Sustainability-linked Trade Finance

In addition to Green Trade finance solutions, the Trade Finance team of Societe Generale is now able to propose sustainability linked Trade Finance instruments aiming at accompanying our clients in achieving their own E&S strategic goals. This is a major milestone in our ESG by design road map, aiming at putting ESG at the core of our Trade Finance value proposition. These solutions offer a wider scope than green trade finance which is focusing on 5 sectors (Renewable energy / Clean transportation / Waste management / Sustainable water & wastewater management/ Hydrogen). 

We are proud to be alongside our clients in the selection of their E&S objectives to accelerate their transition to a more sustainable business model.
