SUPPORTING STATEMENT: Given the scale of the climate crisis and the growing inequalities, we are proposing the creation of a new kind
of dividend aimed at broadening the sharing of value created by the organization towards projects with high
social and environmental added value.
Taking the example of Crédit Mutuel (France) and MAIF (Mutuelle d’assurance pour les instituteurs de
France)(1), the sums thus identified could be devoted to the ecological, climate and social transition. For
example, these sums could be used to take stakes in businesses that do not necessarily have an immediate
profitability objective, but have a positive impact on the environment and inclusion, such as investments in
energy-efficiency improvements or the creation of bicycle garages in cities, in support of customers and
future customers most exposed to climatic events and the most economically vulnerable, in the granting of
zero-interest loans for energy renovation to customers on modest incomes, and so on.
