Celebrating 160 Years of Societe Generale
A journey of innovation and shared values
This year, we at Ayvens are thrilled to celebrate a remarkable milestone with our main shareholder, Societe Generale (SG Group), as they turn 160 years old. Since May 4, 1864, when Napoleon III signed the decree to establish Societe Generale, the bank has been a beacon of progress and innovation, constantly evolving to meet the needs of its customers and society.Â
A legacy of growth and innovation
From the height of the Industrial Revolution to today’s digital age, Societe Generale has played a crucial role in shaping economic development. Over 160 years, the bank has grown from the ambitions of a small group of industrialists and financiers to serving more than 25 million customers in 65 countries. This journey has been driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to progress that guided its founders.
For 160 years, SG Group have been making their clients' ideas grow
Societe Generale's mission of "promoting the development of trade and industry" has always been at the forefront of their operations. Today, they continue to support sustainable development and responsible transitions, addressing the challenges of our time with audacity, determination, and confidence.
Our heritage, shared values and a common future
