At BNP Paribas, teleworking comes in many different forms and schedules, helping to strike a balance between work and personal life. This is being developed under the common framework of the World Agreement and, more specifically in Europe, the European Charter on Teleworking which the Group signed in 2021 and renewed in 2025.
- European Charter on Teleworking: This charter is employed in 22 countries and covers over 132,000 employees. It establishes general principles, such as implementing teleworking based on a collective team approach; respecting the principle of double voluntary action; allowing permanent reversibility; limiting the amount of time spent teleworking to a maximum of 50%; and ensuring a minimum presence on site of at least one day per week.
- Varied teleworking patterns and formulas: There are a number of possible teleworking patterns and formulas to suit the Group’s different activities. The Charter provides for regular schedules organised by week, bi-weekly or by month, as well as flexible days. The Group’s social framework applicable to all employees in Europe may be supplemented by companies to meet their specific needs, provided that any changes do not differ from the provisions of the Charter in a less favourable way.
