Case Study: Société Générale eliminates single-use plastic from food distribution with Agorize

Societe Generale - Customer Case Study

Societe Generale, a French multinational bank, sought to eliminate single-use plastic from its corporate food distribution channels to meet its CSR commitments. To find innovative suppliers and operational solutions at scale, the bank partnered with Agorize to run an open sourcing challenge on its innovation management platform.

Using the Agorize platform, Societe Generale launched the "Free from Plastic" challenge, which attracted over 100 innovative companies to submit proposals. The solution included a customized platform for participant management, evaluation, and connection to Agorize's global community. As a result, Societe Generale efficiently sourced new suppliers, selected a winning solution for pilot deployment, strengthened its brand image, and found new methods to reduce its environmental footprint.
