24th Edition of the FAIR and La Croix Social Impact Finance Barometer : €34 billion in social savings assets

A Record Year for Social Impact Finance

This is an excellent result for social impact finance, attributable to three combined factors : growing net subscriptions 
(approximately €2.5 billion), favourable market effects (almost €2 billion in positive effects), and a richer product 
offering with the arrival of new Finansol-labelled products (€0.7 billion). 

• Social employee savings schemes, which alone account for 54% of the assets, reaches €18.5 billion and accelerates sharply with growth of +13%, confirming its status as the flagship channel of social impact finance.
• Outstanding amounts from the bank channel are not to be outdone, reaching €14.2 billion (+19% year-on-year, a record). This increase is driven by the strong momentum of social impact funds and savings accounts, which continue to gain ground, as well as the spectacular growth of the MAIF’s life insurance contract (MAIF Assurance vie Responsable et Solidaire). Interest-sharing savings, meanwhile, directed €16 million in donations towards charitable organisations.
• Finally, savings collected directly by social enterprises continues to grow and reaches nearly €1.3 billion. In terms of social impact investments, €848 million was mobilised in favour of the social economy primarily directed at social projects (67%), but also at ecological transition (25%) and international solidarity (5%).

All of this converges towards an increasingly accurate picture of what is now a well-established reality : the relevance and impact of social savings. 

“Once again, this year, outstanding amounts are growing strongly thanks to the mobilisation of the entire ecosystem. Now, virtually all major banking and insurance networks have at least one Finansol-labelled social savings product in their commercial offering panel, and many organisations are turning to social impact finance to carry out their public interest missions. Yet, it is the impact of this money collected that is truly significant: 11,372 jobs created, over 2,000 people rehoused, nearly 74,000 people supplied with renewable electricity. Social impact finance is unquestionably a solution-driven form of finance that improves the daily lives of many people across the country.”
