SOCIETE GENERALE GLOBAL SOLUTION CENTRE

Societe Generale Global Solution Centre's journey as a service center for Societe Generale Group began in 2011 and had throughout the years a continuous development, enriched with projects that grew in variety and complexity.

For the first part of its journey, our company, initially named Societe Generale European Business Services, has been positioned as a valuable partner for the Group in its European operations, and this represented a vote of trust for our expertise and potential.

By listening to our clients' needs and building on the expertise of our team, our company managed to create more and more services, by adding new business lines to its activity. Also, in the last couple of years, our service center worked together with our colleagues in India, as one team, towards a common goal: to create an undeniable positive global impact for Societe Generale Group. This expansion of our business impact has been reflected in our name as well, going from "European Business Services" to "Global Solution Centre".

Societe Generale Global Solution Centre Romania has grown substantially. From a single division specialized on financial services, in 2011, the company has transformed itself into a complex center offering a wide range of services and solutions: Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, IT, Know Your Customer or Compliance.

Societe Generale Global Solution Centre means performance, innovation and the best professionals.

In 2012, HRCO was also opened to complement the company's service portfolio with Human Resources activities. In 2015, the launch of the IT Hub helped the Group expand its IT operations to Eastern Europe. Not only has it supported the increase of Societe Generale Global Solution Centre's activity but has also helped to increase the portfolio of services offered.

Societe Generale is increasingly relying on its service centers, this being part of the Group's global transformation strategy. Therefore, our company decided to open a fourth line of business, delivering services to both Paris headquarters and other European entities. Our operations have developed and matured, so the services provided have split the activity into two new business lines: Know Your Customer and Compliance.

Now, Societe Generale Global Solution Centre is a service center for many Group entities, serving more than 35 countries for all Societe Generale's major business lines.
