Fonds d’épargne salariale verts : vigilance rouge

The document analyzes the 'responsible' employee savings fund offerings of major French account holders, finding that these funds often include investments in companies developing new fossil fuel projects incompatible with a 1.5°C warming limit. It highlights a gap between marketing claims and actual investment practices, specifically citing Crédit Agricole and Société Générale.

• Responsible employee savings fund ranges from analyzed account holders—including Crédit Agricole, Natixis Interépargne, Crédit Mutuel ES, Société Générale, and BNP Paribas E&RE—constitute only 30% of the total offering.
• Over 30% of the funds within the 'responsible' ranges of Crédit Agricole and Société Générale invest in companies developing new fossil fuel projects that are incompatible with a realistic 1.5°C trajectory, a situation facilitated by partnerships with asset managers like Amundi.
• Some account holders engage in greenwashing by using communication that praises the environmental qualities of their funds, which prevents employees and companies from making informed choices and hinders the implementation of truly responsible savings plans.
