Are you ready to take on the Free From Plastic Challenge?

It's time to say NO to single-use plastics in all food distribution channels within Societe Generale premises!

Does your organization develop materials, processes, products or services that eliminate single-use plastics from corporate food distribution channels? Have you already developed a prototype or have a product on the market? Take your chance and become the next supplier of Societe Generale Group. This challenge is for you!

The Sourcing Division of Societe Generale Group is calling on companies from around the world to participate in the "Free from Plastic" Challenge and potentially become a new partner of Societe Generale Group.

If you are interested in marketing and distributing your solution within Societe Generale Group, first in France and then potentially internationally, then we would be delighted to hear from you!
