The banking jobs: Transformation project consultant
Amid rapid changes in markets, sectors and new technologies, the development of BNP Paribas'...
A round of applause for the first promotion of #Intrapreneurs4Good at BNP Paribas! For four months, fifteen employees were taking part in the BNP Paribas intrapreneurship program, the People’sLab4Good. Their challenge: turning the seed of an idea into a concrete project, combining business interest for the Group with a positive impact on society and/or the environment. This engagement is in line with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, just like the entire Group.
On November 8, 2018, the intrapreneurs who had already obtained a GO for a first prototype or deployment at the end of the program went on stage to introduce their projects to new internal investors or sponsors. They had one objective in mind: accelerating and strengthening their positive impact.
“We all need to have an entrepreneur mindset, to find innovative solutions. Here, we can clearly see that these are business subjects,” said Marie-Claire Capobianco, Head of the French Retail Banking, in order to encourage an audience composed of about one hundred decision makers from all BNP Paribas to get involved.
For Antoine Sire, Director of the Company Engagement department and member of the Executive Committee, “these initiatives are paving the way to the business models of tomorrow, by matching enthusiasm and high skills with one incredible thing: altruism.”

People'sLab4Good is BNP Paribas' intrapreneurship program, which aims to develop new solutions with a 100% positive impact.
With 20 days of training over four months, employees are coached into acquiring startups’ key skills, receiving dedicated guidance and a deep-dive into the culture of the Social Business.
In 2018, the first promotion brought together 15 intrapreneurs from nine Group entities and four countries.

Last March, to further boost the impact of the “4 Good” initiatives, BNP Paribas also launched the #Intrapreneurs4Good movement. The hashtag helps enhance the value of the Group's projects, while harnessing the external goodwill of civil society on social networks. This is based on sharing best practices and information, and holding events bringing together stakeholders involved in high-impact intrapreneurship. At the beginning of October, the first event gathered more than fifteen companies on this topic.
