Societe Generale Has Announced a Plan to Implement Organisational
Changes in Its Head Office in France
Press releaseParis, 5 February 2024
Societe Generale has announced a plan to implement
organisational changes in its head office in France to simplify its
operations and structurally improve its operational
efficiency.
During the presentation of the Group’s strategic roadmap in
September 2023, Societe Generale announced a goal of gradually and
significantly improving its cost/income ratio, with the achievement
of approximately €1.7 billion in gross savings in 2026 compared
with 2022.
This amount includes synergies expected from initiatives already
underway such as the creation of the new retail bank in France, the
digitalisation of activities at Komerczni Banka or the integration
of LeasePlan into Ayvens. It also includes additional savings of
around €700 million from new projects launched in all Group
entities to streamline information systems, optimise purchasing
processes, or simplify the organisation.
In this context, several French head office entities are
considering organisational changes that require
specific social support measures. The objective is to
group and pool certain activities and functions, remove
hierarchical layers to streamline decision-making, and resize
certain teams due to reviews of projects or processes.
This reorganisation project, which would represent a major step
in achieving the additional savings envisaged, is being submitted
today for consultation with the staff representative bodies.
Following the completion of the consultation scheduled for the
second quarter of 2024, the implementation of these organisational
changes would result in approximately 900 job cuts
at head office without forced
departures (i.e. approximately 5% of head office staff).
As a responsible employer, Societe Generale would deploy all the
support measures as part of its social pact through internal
transfers, end-of-year support or voluntary departures.
