Indeed, BNP Paribas confirms its excellent performance by ranking 1st among French banks and 4th among European banks on a total of 248 banks in its rating universe.

This year, the Group's major improvements concern the following areas: 'Codes of Business Conduct' (compliance issues, business ethics…) and 'Policy Influence' (responsible lobbying practices) with a respective increase of 20 points, and 'Climate Strategy' (climate-related risks management) with an increase of 12 points.

On the other hand, with scores of 100/100, BNP Paribas has particularly well performed in the environmental (« Climate Strategy » et « Environmental Reporting »), social (« Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy », « Financial Inclusion » et « Social Reporting ») and economic (« Materiality ») fields.

Last but not least, the Group distinguished itself in the two new sections added by RobecoSAM to its 2019 questionnaire, i.e. Privacy Protection (80/100 vs. an average of 48/100 for the 'Banks' sector) and the integration of ESG** risks and opportunities in the frame of its financing and investment activities (87/100 vs. 27/100).
