La Banque Postale's 2021 results

Satisfactory launch of the 2025 strategic plan: solid results in line with our roadmap, driven by strong business momentum in a recovering and uncertain economic environment.

The year 2021 by Philippe Heim, Chairman of the Executive Board

"The solid results published by La Banque Postale group one year into its 2025 strategic plan have consolidated our business model as a European bancassurer and a market leader in impact finance. During the year, important structural milestones were reached. We completed a new stage in the integration of CNP Assurances by increasing our percentage ownership, we stepped up the digitisation of our Retail Banking offer and we created a new corporate and investment bank. All of our business lines delivered sound business and financial performances, in line with our objectives, confirming the relevance of La Banque Postale's increasingly diversified business model. The Group continues to benefit from a particularly robust balance sheet structure, with very strong capital and liquidity ratios providing the headroom needed to support future growth. We have won praise from leading international bodies for our ambitious low carbon strategy and our strategy of making sustainable finance offerings available to all of our customers, confirming our leadership in impact finance. Last June, we stated that our corporate purpose was to contribute to the just transition, in confirmation of our belief that making a positive impact can be a key driver of performance. We have since gone a step further, by becoming a mission-led company that will make this mission a long-term commitment. After this promising first year, I would like to thank all the teams for their commitment to our customers and to the success of our strategic plan."
