Our purpose:
serving a sustainable future together.
serving a sustainable future together.
We are proud to present this first Corporate Social Responsibility report.
In October 2018, we joined the United Nations Global Compact, which encourages companies
to adopt ten key principles relating to human rights, labor rights, the environment and anticorruption.
By signing this Compact, SFIL reaffirms its active commitment to harmonious development and sustainable growth in accordance with social and environmental objectives.
Corporate Social Responsibility is at the heart of our strategy
SFIL’s original mission of financing the local public sector naturally requires it to support the investments made by the local public sector, i.e. local governments and public health institutions, thereby promoting the development of a financial ecosystem favorable to the Sustainable Development Goals. Day after day, the financing that it provides to local public investment and competitiveness of French exports allows the completion of sustainable projects that benefit everyone. To achieve this, SFIL does not try to maximize its profitability, but rather focuses on offering high-quality services and maintaining a high level of satisfaction with stakeholders. To expand this dialogue and continuously improve the development of sustainable financing, efforts are constantly made to incorporate CSR criteria and all non-financial information.

9 major Sustainable Development Goals
Adopted in September 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals constitute an action plan for peace, humanity, the planet and prosperity. They aim to transform our societies by eradicating poverty and ensuring a just transition to sustainable development by the year 2030. At the end of 2018, SFIL chose to prioritize nine goals in light of its activities and the CSR measures already in place.
