With regard to fossil fuels, the Group is committed to not investing in any company whose oil sands account for more than 15% of total reserves. In addition, the Group intends to invest €1 billion over three years in financing the energy transition.Through these strong

commitments, which go beyond the regulatory obligations, Groupama reaffirms the timeless values that have defined its identity for more than 100 years – responsibility, solidarity, and engagement – and is part of the approach to allow as many
