BNP Paribas, 1st French bank and 3rd bank worlwide in “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations” ranking

In 2020, BNP Paribas appears for the sixth year running in the demanding ranking of the “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations”, published every year at the occasion of the World Economic Forum opening in Davos by the Canadian magazine Corporate Knights.

Having been included for the first time in the Corporate Knights index in 2015, BNP Paribas has climbed 50 places in the space of six years and is now ranked 31th over the world most sustainable companies.
Thanks to its very good results, BNP Paribas positions itself as the 1st French bank, the 2nd European bank and as the 3rd bank worldwide (on a total of 427 banks assessed).

This year, the BNP Paribas group has especially excelled in the fields of social responsibility (health and safety, pension contributions, gender equality on the Board of Directors…) and development of positive impact financial products & services. In addition, the integration by the Group of CSR indicators into its top management’s deferred variable compensation (in which they account for 20% of the overall component) has also been valued in the rating process and is an element which makes the Group stand out in the banking sector.
