As a corporate citizen, we simply cannot remain indifferent to the causes that affect the planet, the environment and our fellow humans. As a company, we must take into account the environmental and societal consequences of our activity.

At the heart of BNP Paribas Group’s strategy, there is a strong desire to participate in building a more sustainable and better shared future. This willingness translates to our Corporate Engagement approach, in particular by helping to achieve the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, we share this belief and want to fully support this approach with concrete measures.

Conceived around our transformation strategy and the principle of constant dialogue with all our stakeholders, this approach enables us to grow while being more respectful of the environment, more ethical in our morals and united in our purpose.

To ensure that BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions has a maximum impact and is able to serve its customers, its partners and the society as a whole, each and every employee of the company embodies and assumes this responsibility.

To this end, we’ve outlined 3 key areas of action which are relevant to our activity and where we hope to be able to make maximum impact.

Energy

LIMITING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Supporting Energy Transition by financing specialised equipment: We’re constantly expanding the range of equipment we finance to include those that foster transition to cleaner forms of energy

Promoting Circular Economy: We develop solutions and associated services for better life cycle management of equipment. In this way, we also support our clients in reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

Tracking our own environment footprint: Through reporting and well-defined indicators, we closely track any impact that our business activities may have on the environment.

Diversity

PROMOTING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

For us, diversity and inclusion is not just a matter of responsibility, but also something that concerns collective performance. We’re truly committed, alongside our employees, to treasure and respect our differences, while fighting against all forms of discrimination and harassment.
