Contributing to local development – Our regional footprint

In 2019, Groupe BPCE commissioned a review of the socio-economic footprint of its two retail networks, the Banques Populaires and the Caisses d’Epargne. The review was conducted using a LocalFootprint@ certified method (see Chapter 2.5, Methodology) based on data for 2018. It calculated the impact of the two Banques Populaires and Caisse d’Epargne networks’ activity (financing and operations) in terms of jobs supported and their contribution to GDP.
