The Collection Société Générale is a living art collection. Created in 1995, it combines painting, photography and sculpture, and today comprises more than 1,200 artworks.

Exhibited within the Group’s premises, its purpose is to be widely shared: employees, the public, partners, customers, school groups and students can discover it thanks to multiple interactions (exhibitions, art workshops, partnerships, loans or off-site exhibitions). The Collection’s development is the result of a constant and coherent acquisition policy, involving all of the company’s key players: Each year, the collection is enriched with new works that are selected by a committee, made up of members of the Group’s general management and its collaborators, with input from independent experts.

The collection combines artworks by celebrated artists as well as emerging creatives, with a growing interest in scenes throughout Europe, Africa and Asia, reflecting the international development of the Group.

The Collection Société Générale expresses a long-term, inclusive and open cultural sponsorship policy aligned with the Group’s values.
