MAIF chooses Societe Generale's structured products for their contribution to reducing CO2 emissions

Within the ESG¹ and SRI² product ranges that are dedicated to its French clients, MAIF Solutions Financières, the asset management subsidiary of the  insurance group MAIF, has been offering structured notes with ESG underlyings that include a contribution to a greenhouse gas emission reduction project in sub-Saharan Africa – a Societe Generale innovation. "Structured products are part of the solutions we offer to our clients, but for the past three years we have been systematically offering them with ESG indices as underlyings. We have this goal of making our entire range of financial solutions 100% SRI by the end of 2021 by integrating solutions with innovative and positive contribution underlyings. After integrating Societe Generale’s reforestation notes³ into our offer two years ago, we decided to enhance it with the bank's structured notes that include a contribution to a greenhouse gas emission reduction project in Sub-Saharan Africa », explains Olivier Weller, Deputy Director-General of MAIF Solutions Financières.
