Benin’s Ministry of Economy and Finance has signed an agreement with Bouygues Bâtiment International for the construction of a hospital in the country's second largest city. Financed by Societe Generale, the 40,000 m² health facility is scheduled for completion in 2023.

Societe Generale has created a range of Notes, the Positive Impact Notes (P.I. Notes), to allow its clients to invest in a structured note whilst promoting Positive Impact Finance (PIF).

For corporates and investors who seek to increase their positive impact throughout their value chain, Societe Generale has developed advisory capacities and Positive Impact Financial services across the whole finance spectrum.

With a top-ranked ESG Research team, performing index solutions and a broad Sustainable and Positive Impact product offer – ranging from the most vanilla to the most customised proposal – our aim is to deliver sustainable investment solutions that fit the diverse ESG & SRI strategies of our clients.

Highly supportive of transitioning to a fairer & greener economy, we stand by our corporate & financial institution clients to help them have a Positive Impact on society at large. 

It looks positive for renewables, particularly as we enter the wider energy transition beyond just power, according to Allan Baker, head of Energy Advisory & Project Finance Emea at Societe Generale and a member of the ‘Is the Energy Transition Accelerating?’ panel arranged over webcast by The Petroleum Economist on 4 June 2020.

A series of offshore wind and floating solar projects that support policymakers’ energy transition goals are creating opportunity for local and global companies in Taiwan, supported by Societe Generale.
