Positive-impact finance contributes to at least 3 of the sustainable development pillars: economic, environmental and social.
As a creator of sustainable financial products and a partner for social entrepreneurs around the world, BNP Paribas has made positive banking one of the keys to its long-term growth strategy.
Positive-impact financing and investments form the 1st axis of the Economic Responsibility pillar in the Group’s CSR policy. BNP Paribas thereby commits to supporting the economy in an ethical manner, and focuses on implementing processes that combine “innovation” and “positive impact”, for example the Social Impact Bond, a new financial tool to make an impact on society.
