The BNP Paribas Group was formed by banks that have been deeply embedded in the European and global economies over the last 200 years. They have adapted to the challenges of their times and helped clients and other stakeholders during moments of great change.
BNP Paribas’ mission is to contribute to a responsible and sustainable economy by financing and advising clients according to the highest ethical standards.
We offer secure, sound and innovative financial solutions to individuals, professional clients, corporates and institutional investors while striving to address the fundamental challenges of today with regard to the environment, local development and social inclusion.

By making the expertise of its different business lines available to support the numerous transitions currently underway, the Group is taking action for finance that is more just and sustainable. At the centre of the Group’s vision are the current issues confronting people and the environment with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals driving its actions. The objective is clear: make progress in financing a carbon neutral economy by 2050.
