“Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations and its subsidiaries constitute a public group serving the public interest and the country’s economic development. The Group carries out missions of public interest in support of the public policies implemented by the State and local government bodies, and may also exercise competitive activities. […] Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations is a long-term investor and contributes to the development of enterprises in line with its own proprietorial interests.”

Placed under Parliamentary supervision and guarantee, Caisse des Dépôts is Europe’s only financial institution relying on the nation’s protection, a status that confers it with independence and autonomy. It is a Public Group made up of a Public Institution and subsidiaries.

Since 1816, their priority mission has been to "receive, conserve and render the values entrusted to us".

Their raison d’être: the public interest
Ever attentive to the country’s development, they carry out missions of public interest supporting national and local public policies: financing of social housing, development of enterprises, and energy and ecological transition.

Active above all in promoting the country and its regions’ economic development, the Group stands out for its unique positioning, leaving time for innovation and sustainable growth.

Their mission as a long-term investor
They invest over the long term, serving the country’s economic development with their loan offers, equity and guarantee mechanisms with no contributions from the State budget. Their stable and diversified resources come from management of their financial assets, investment activities, and subsidiaries, which are normally set up by Caisse des Dépôts to meet a need of public interest.

They are active in such diverse sectors as personal risk protection, mobility, housing, leisure activities and tourism, company financing, IT, and energy and the environment.

Their capacity for innovation and designing new forms of cooperation with their partners and customers enables us to anticipate, support and accelerate the major changes that French society is undergoing, in particular those requiring large-scale investments.
