Our values

Public interest, trust and long-term vision are the core values that have guided our actions for over 200 years. We use all of our financial expertise and our ability to act to respond to the challenges that our country faces. We work to support France's ecological transformation, strengthen our sovereignty and promote social and regional cohesion.

Serving the public interest

Acting in France’s public interest and supporting public policy, we strive to promote strategic, economic and social investments that will ensure the future competitiveness and the ecological transformation of our regions. Day in, day out, the Group takes every step to help make public services accessible to as many people as possible.

Guaranteeing trust

As a trusted third party, Caisse des Dépôts manages and protects a portion of regulated savings in France (Livret A, LDDS, LEP), as well as notary deposits (property transactions, inheritance) and deposits for other legal professions. We also manage a number of social services, such as certain public pension systems, vocational training and disability support.

Investing for the long term

We are a leading institutional investor with a long-term focus on financing the economy and the sustainable development of France’s regions. We convert the French population's savings into 30- to 80-year loans to finance social housing, urban planning and public interest projects for local authorities. Our model is unique and offers particularly valuable capacity for counter-cyclical action in times of difficulty.
