Sport & Patronage

BRED Banque Populaire, a long-term commitment to sailing

Driven by long-term projects, BRED Banque Populaire has made a lasting commitment to sport by choosing sailing as its preferred forum for expression. From its renewed support for the last three editions of the Transat Café L’OR (formerly the Transat Jacques Vabre) to its backing of the Normandy Sailing League, along with its support for several sailing clubs in its territories and its sponsorship of top athletes such as Jérémie Mion and Jean-Baptiste Bernaz, the bank is gradually building a real ecosystem around its chosen sporting discipline.

All of these commitments tell the same story: one of a taste for challenge, collective performance, and the fostering of deep regional ties.

A strong local commitment

True to its corporate purpose and its values as a cooperative banking institution, BRED Banque Populaire focuses its activities on developing the real economy in its territories, thereby helping to support local employment. Beyond its economic dimension, BRED Banque Populaire’s local commitment also finds reflection in a sponsorship policy designed to promote entrepreneurship, equal opportunities, and environmental protection.

In line with its partnership-based governance model founded on its cooperative status, BRED Banque Populaire has, since its inception, maintained an ongoing and constructive dialogue with its stakeholders: customers, cooperative shareholders, employees, suppliers, local authorities, and entities active in the social & solidarity-based economy.

In accordance with its values, BRED Banque Populaire pursues a human resources management policy that promotes diversity and social inclusion. Fully aware of climate issues, BRED Banque Populaire adopted an action plan designed to reduce its direct environmental footprint between 2019 and 2024 and to manage the carbon trajectory linked to its financed emissions since 2024.
