Airline Economics Sustainability Deals of the Year awards 2023:

At the Dublin Aviation & Environment Summit conference on the 11th of May 2023, Airline Economics announced the second annual Sustainability Deals of the Year awards. We were thrilled to be awarded two of the five sustainability-related trophies.

Overall, Societe Generale arranged in 2022 numerous instrumental transactions for the entire aviation/aeronautical value chain, demonstrating again the strong capabilities of the team to execute sizeable and complex transactions under time constraints, be agile and innovative to overcome obstacles, set new industry benchmarks.
This has been made possible thanks to a longstanding multi-decades presence in aviation finance, the high quality of a credit portfolio which has been particularly resilient through the most adverse crisis ever known by the sector, and most importantly, the continuing trust of our clients and partners.
