The retail banking networks and their cooperative shareholders are represented respectively by the Fédération Nationale des Banques Populaires (FNBP) and the Fédération Nationale des Caisses d’Epargne (FNCE), bodies that provide a setting for deliberation, communication, and representation.

To enhance Groupe BPCE’s commitment to a proactive policy on social and environmental responsibility, a Group CSR Department, reporting directly to Laurent Mignon, Chairman of the Management Board, was created in November 2020 and assigned the task of drawing up a common CSR strategy for all the entities of the Group as a whole. The Group CSR Department is also responsible for coordinating all the initiatives taken by the Group’s companies in this area, notably in light of the targets defined in the new strategic plan, BPCE 2024.

A climate risk function was also set up in 2020 with a view to bringing together a network of correspondents in all the Group’s different companies and businesses. This function reports to the Climate Risk division of the Group Risk Management department.
