True and robust sustainable finance. For the second year running, BNP Paribas received the “World’s Best Bank for Sustainable Finance” and “World’s Best Bank for ESG Data and Technology” awards. Scaling up sustainable finance
This recognition reflects the Group’s comprehensive approach to scaling up sustainable finance, by:
- including serious sector policies and CO2 reduction targets
- creating expert teams and a first-class set up to accompany clients
- implementing an in-depth transformation of its governance, processes and skills
Coalitions and working groups. The Group also values active participation in coalitions and working groups such as the Net-Zero Banking Alliance and the Science Based Target initiative, or the TNFD – Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure which recently released its first beta version of a framework for nature-related risk management and disclosures.
SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
The Low-Carbon Transition Group: supporting our customers in their transition. “True sustainable finance requires profound transformations, to which we have aspired since several years. In addition to our commitments to society and to our clients, we need to ensure that we have robust data enabling every ESG element of our proposed transformation to rely on a very real and robust process. A lot remains to be done but being awarded both Best Bank for Sustainable Finance and Best Bank for ESG Data shows that we are heading in the right direction.” Antoine Sire Head of Company Engagement for BNP Paribas and Member of the Group Executive Committee.
