Over 100 Societe Generale APAC employees took part in a charity bike across Mongolia and raised over EUR 115,000 for local charities in APAC.
The sixth annual Asia Pacific Bike Ride Challenge took place over three days in September in the mountainous terrain of the Gorkhi-Terlj national park—parts of the donations will go to the Tsolmon Ireedui Foundation to support children in Mongolia.
Frank Drouet, Head of Global Markets for Asia Pacific, Societe Generale—who was a member of the cycling team—said: “We are delighted to see the enthusiasm from the participants and are grateful for the generosity of the supporters, amid challenging conditions this year where we experienced four seasons in one day. Together, we live out our team spirit and show our commitment and responsibility towards such a great cause.”
Societe Generale’s annual bike ride is part of the bank’s ongoing charitable initiatives throughout the region and has enjoyed success in China, Cambodia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan in the past years.
