· Alain Moynot is soon to be appointed Head of Global Professional Ethics at BNP Paribas Group

· Jean-Laurent Bonnafé will become Head of Domestic Retail Banking

· Christian Aubin, Secretary of the Board of Directors, is placed in charge of steering the Group's Sustainable Development efforts.


BNP Paribas Group has moved to set an example in professional ethics compliance. Its aims are to safeguard the interests of its customers, abide by market integrity, prevent laundering of money gained through criminal activity, combat corruption and terrorism from within the banking and financial services industries. In accordance with such aims, Christian Aubin has structured and headed the Group's professional ethics compliance practice worldwide.

The Group has set for itself the same level of high standards in terms of corporate governance and sustainable development, and Michel Pébereau gave Christian Aubin, 64, advisor to the President and CEO, Secretary of the Board of Directors, the task of steering the Group's appropriate efforts in these areas.

BNP Paribas' growth and expansion, and its ambitions for its various core businesses, require the Group to intensify its professional ethics practice. That is why, Alain Moynot, 56, a member of BNP Paribas' Management Committee and Head of Domestic Retail Banking has been appointed to head the global effort by Michel Pébereau because of his wide experience across the Bank's core businesses and in-depth understanding of and experience with our clientele and employees.

Alain Moynot takes on this new job after boosting the financial and business performance of Domestic Retail Banking to its best level, working closely with his team and the whole domestic retail banking organisation, implementing the necessary structural and organisational reforms and developing Domestic Retail Banking's 2005 project. He also put together the team of people that will be carrying out the project.

Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, 40, since December 2000 Head of Strategy, Sales Development, and the Domestic Retail Banking Organisation and Channels, has been named Head of the Domestic Retail Banking core business. Until now, he has co-directed, along with Michel Clair, the merger completion effort during the BNP Paribas merger period.
