For BNP Paribas, being a responsible bank means above all ensuring the financing of the real economy, by supporting all of its clients (individuals, companies, institutions, etc.) in carrying out their projects.

Beyond this economic responsibility , linked to the sector of activity, the Group's responsibility manifests itself in three other areas:

• - Social responsibility , through fair practices with respect to nearly 200,000 Group employees and commitment to quality social dialogue
• - Civic responsibility , in the fight against exclusion and the promotion of education and culture. The Group is strongly involved for the benefit of society in projects which extend its banking activities: aid to sensitive neighborhoods, microcredit, support for the social and solidarity economy, etc. Societal commitment is also reflected in the sponsorship action of the BNP Paribas Foundation in the fields of solidarity, education, culture and health
• - Environmental responsibility: All over the world, BNP Paribas monitors the environmental impact, both of its banking activity - through detailed policies in risk areas - and of its own operations. Through the BNP Paribas Foundation, it supports actions for the environment
