Philanthropy exercised through coalitions
Working with other philanthropists enhances the impact of our initiatives. The BNP Paribas Group takes part in coalitions that provide collective solutions to major challenges of our time.
In France, for example, the BNP Paribas Group is a founding patron of "La France s’engage(Opens in a new tab)", a foundation that lays out a path to scale up the most innovative general-interest initiatives. It is also the top patron and partner of "L’Ascenseur(Opens in a new tab)", a third-place, unique in Europe, that is dedicated to equal opportunities. Twenty private and public associations come together at "L’Ascenseur" to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds gain access to education, employment and culture.
BNP Paribas is also one of the pioneering companies working with "Collectif Mentorat(Opens in a new tab)", which encourages and promotes philanthropy within companies. With almost 1,000 mentors among its employees, BNP Paribas ranks first among companies committed to equal opportunities.
