Groupe BPCE is committed to maintaining a high-quality dialogue with civil society, and we value your support in identifying controversies affecting our clients, as they enrich this dialogue. In this regard, we confirm that we have carefully read and considered your 2025 report as well as the latest update.

However, due to confidentiality duties and the regulatory framework governing our activities, Groupe BPCE is not able to discuss individual client relationships beyond what has already been made public.

At the same time, Groupe BPCE fully acknowledges that renewable energy developments, like other major infrastructure projects, may give rise to environmental and social risks, including in relation to human rights. In line with our sustainability commitments, we pay close attention to these issues and they are systematically integrated into our ongoing dialogue with clients. Groupe BPCE is dedicated to employing best efforts and dedicated resources to ensure that ESG risks are effectively managed within our financing operations in accordance with best practices and our policies. Furthermore, we expect our clients to adhere to industry best practices and comply with all applicable local and international legal and regulatory requirements.
