Our vocation

In a world of generalized and globalized competition, it is important to count on the solidarity and commitment of everyone.

The Association pour la gestion du régime de Garantie des créances des Salariés (AGS) is an inter-company solidarity fund set up in early 1974 to meet the need to protect employees in the event of company failures.

The main mission of the AGS, which has a social vocation, is to accompany and support companies in insolvency proceedings by advancing the funds needed to pay employee claims.

The AGS scheme is a genuine social shock absorber that does more than simply advance wages. Its public-interest mission is to maintain the economic and financial viability of companies in difficulty, thereby preserving jobs.

The AGS is :

  • 230 people at 15 sites in mainland France and the French overseas departments and territories
  • A presence as close as possible to businesses in difficulty and our partners
  • Recognised legal, economic and social skills
  • A committed player in the handling of insolvency proceedings
  • Shared values: Solidarity, Commitment and Proximity
