This apprenticeship puts you at the heart of a large regional bank’s social commitment. You’ll track internal carbon indicators while running concrete projects that strengthen social inclusion and team cohesion. Your day-to-day will alternate between technical analysis of climate risks and organizing awareness events for staff across the network.

The challenge is turning the Group’s high-level commitments into tangible, local action. Working alongside the Energy Transition team, you’ll directly help the bank’s clients finance their own decarbonization. It’s a rare chance to see how the financial sector can positively shape the local economy and the climate resilience of a specific region like Lorraine.

This suits someone who is finishing an engineering or specialized master’s degree and wants a varied experience combining analytical rigor in Excel with the people skills needed to bring diverse stakeholders on board.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

As a CSR Development Officer, your primary goal is to track and analyze carbon emission indicators to support the regional bank's internal reduction targets. You will be responsible for producing both internal and external sustainability reports, ensuring that the bank's non-financial performance is accurately documented and transparent. Beyond data, you will actively pilot social inclusion initiatives and design internal events to foster a culture of sustainability among employees. You will also conduct deep-dives into climate risks, performing literature reviews and benchmarking to strengthen the organization's strategic resilience. Finally, you will act as a bridge to the business side by working with the Energy Transition Department. This involves helping to clean and consolidate sector-specific databases to offer better financial solutions for clients embarking on their own energy transitions.

Key learning opportunities for this job

You will develop a robust understanding of how climate risks are integrated into the financial sector, moving from high-level theory to practical risk analysis and data management. This includes hands-on experience with carbon accounting tools and internal ESG reporting frameworks used in large corporate environments. Furthermore, the role offers a front-row seat to the operationalization of energy transition strategies for retail and professional banking clients. You will learn how to translate complex environmental goals into viable banking products and customer advice, a skill that is increasingly in high demand in the burgeoning sustainable finance market. On the soft-skills front, horizontal collaboration across different bank departments—from risk management to communications—will sharpen your ability to manage complex stakeholder networks and deliver impact within a large, multi-layered organization.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The bank is specifically looking for an engineering student or Master's candidate with a dedicated interest in climate change mitigation. This technical educational background is essential for navigating the quantitative aspects of carbon foot-printing and climate risk modeling effectively. Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint is mandatory, as much of the role involves manipulating data and presenting synthesized results to decision-makers. You should be someone who enjoys details but can also see the 'big picture' when creating summaries of complex literature. Soft skills are just as vital; the role requires curiosity, autonomy and high standards of rigor. Because you will be organizing internal events and collaborating with various teams, a proactive and collaborative mindset is key to succeeding in this regional ecosystem.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

To stand out, demonstrate your quantitative analytical skills by mentioning specific projects where you used Excel to solve complex problems or track environmental data. The hiring team needs to know they can rely on your summaries and data consolidation for national-level working groups. In your cover letter, explain why you are specifically interested in the regional and mutualist model of Crédit Agricole de Lorraine. Showing that you understand the unique link between a local bank and its territory's economic transition will prove that your motivation goes beyond just a generic interest in CSR. Prepare to discuss recent trends in sustainable finance or climate risk regulations. Being able to explain why these topics matter for a banking entity will demonstrate the analytical maturity expected from an engineering-profile candidate.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role bridges internal operations and external market influence. On the internal side, you will focus on the bank's own carbon footprint reduction and its social impact as an employer, ensuring that inclusion and social cohesion are more than just bullet points in a report. On the external side, the focus is heavily geared toward climate resilience and the energy transition of the bank’s client portfolio. You will contribute to the transition of the local economy by supporting the development of specialized financial solutions for energy efficiency and decarbonization projects. Governance and transparency are also central, as you will be deeply involved in managing sector-specific databases. This work ensures that the bank's climate-related reporting is reliable and aligned with the broader Credit Agricole Group's national and international commitments.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

One of the primary challenges will be the consolidation of heterogeneous data. Gathering reliable information from various departments and points of sale across Lorraine to create a unified carbon or climate risk report requires patience and strong organizational skills. Translating high-level sustainability concepts into practical actions for banking staff who are focused on daily commercial targets can also be difficult. You will need to find creative ways to make CSR topics engaging and relevant for employees who may not have a background in environmental science. Lastly, balancing the diversity of your missions—ranging from social events to technical climate risk analysis—will require excellent time management to ensure that long-term data projects progress alongside immediate animation and event deadlines.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

Your morning might start with updating carbon indicators or analyzing new data sets related to the bank’s internal energy consumption. You might then transition into a meeting with the Energy Transition team to discuss the technical requirements for a new client-facing database. In the afternoon, you could shift to project management and communication, perhaps planning an upcoming employee awareness workshop or creating a synthesis of a recent regional climate risk report. This involves a mix of deep focus on technical documents and collaborative calls. The day often ends with coordination with the various regional support teams. These interactions ensure that your CSR initiatives are well-aligned with the bank’s overall operational strategy and that the data you are consolidating is verified and robust.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

Within the Crédit Agricole Group, an apprenticeship is a recognized gateway to long-term careers in sustainable finance, risk management, or corporate strategy. Successful completion of this role puts you in an excellent position to pursue specialized CSR management positions. You will build a network within 39 regional banks and the national entity, providing exposure to a wide range of professional paths. The skills gained in climate risk analysis are particularly valuable, as these roles are expanding rapidly across the entire global financial sector. Furthermore, the bank values internal mobility. Starting in a regional office like Lorraine allows you to gain hands-on field expertise that is highly appreciated should you choose to move later into more strategic, national, or global oversight roles within the group.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will work most closely with the Regional Engagement Director and the CSR coordinators who oversee the societal commitments of the Lorraine caisse. These mentors will provide the strategic direction for your daily tasks. External to the CSR team, you will regularly interact with the Energy Transition Pole and the Risk Management department. These stakeholders are crucial for the technical data collection and the implementation of climate-related financial products for the bank’s clients. You will also be in contact with the human resources and communication teams for employee engagement projects, as well as being a point of contact for national working groups where you will consolidate regional data for the group-wide CSR strategy.
