At BNP Paribas, we believe economic growth can only be sustainable if it is beneficial for all and preserves the planet's resources. That firm conviction, championed by BNP Paris Director and CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, has been a driving force behind the Group's actions for many years now. It is based on an ethical vision of banks' long-term social and environmental responsibility, recognising that banks have a crucial role to play in channelling financial resources towards initiatives that meet the challenges of our society today.

That is why BNP Paribas has set itself the goal of becoming a leader in sustainable finance and social and environmental responsibility. Our actions are guided by the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To centralise the management of these projects, we set up a Corporate Engagement Department in 2017.

The Group is taking tangible action in various fields, financing the energy transition and the social economy, and guiding customers towards sustainable finance and a lower-carbon economy.
