GTS 2025 : Growth Technology Sustainability

VISION

With the launch of the GTS 2025 plan, the CPBS division affirms its ambition to federate the Group’s commercial & personal banks and several specialised businesses with efficiency and agility. It also aims to position itself as a trusted companion to meet the financial needs of its customers and, beyond that, best serve their interests and that of society.

To achieve this vision, CPBS has established four priorities:

  • The division intends, firstly, to build on recommendations from customers and employees, by strengthening its customer‑centric organisation with the support of agile working methods and fully empowered teams.
  • CPBS also intends to improve the experience of its customers, by offering a simplified, enriched and sustainable range of products and services to extend well beyond traditional banking services.
  • Customer relationships will be based on the best of people and digital technology with, on the one hand, advisors who are more available and offer greater expertise, and on the other, the development of digital tools that answer its customers’ self‑care needs.
  • Finally, CPBS will continue to build a resilient and industrialised operating model.

STRATEGY

The combined strength of its leadership positions in two‑thirds of its business lines and of its transformed operating model gives CPBS significant growth potential. Its 2025 vision feeds the action plans of each of its business lines and ensures the development of revenues and profitability.

  • The division aims first and foremost to accelerate significant and profitable growth from its specialised businesses, which are leaders in growing markets.
  • It then intends to strengthen its leadership positions in Europe for corporate clients and the Private Banking segment.
  • CPBS is also preparing to reposition its retail banking activities to further improve its attractiveness while adapting its operating model.
  • Lastly, the division continues to improve its efficiency to reduce operating costs and finance new initiatives.
