Protecting the environment

Supporting a future-oriented economy

Green leaves on a branch against a blurred, sun-drenched background.

The BNP Paribas Group combines the highest ethical standards with a resilient business model to meet the long-term needs of our clients.

Withdrawal from financing coal

BNP Paribas already undertook in 2019 to stop financing coal projects in the European Union by 2030.

In this way, we are terminating our financial commitments in particularly environmentally sensitive fields, such as coal-fired power generation, worldwide by 2040. We are thereby supporting the phasing out of coal in our business relationships. To the same extent, we are increasing our investment in technologies that drive the energy transition, such as renewable energies.
