Société Générale Launches Its 2026 Employee Share Ownership Plan at €54.75 per Share
Société Générale announced on Wednesday the launch of a new global employee share ownership plan that allows eligible employees and retired former employees to subscribe to shares under preferential conditions. This initiative, the 33rd of its kind offered by the group, is part of its strategy to sustainably involve employees in the company's development.
A Collective Commitment Scheme Reserved for Group Employees
The 2026 Global Employee Share Ownership Plan (GESOP 2026) aims to actively and sustainably involve employees in the development of the group and in value sharing. The offer is open to employees with a minimum tenure of three months, as well as former employees who have left the company upon retirement and have retained holdings in the relevant savings plans.
The offer is divided into two tranches based on investment vehicles: one through a Corporate Mutual Fund (CMF) in France as part of Corporate or Group Savings Plans, and another subscribed directly by employees under the International Group Savings Plan.
