BNP Paribas' commitment to being a leader in sustainable finance means integrating the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals into both the CSR and business strategy of all its divisions worldwide. In the lead up to the COP 26 this fall, 2021 has already been an important year for commitments to furthering the ecological and energy transition, and these commitments can be clearly seen through the Group's business lines and its support to clients. From innovative solutions to help people understand their own impact on the environment, to efforts reducing food waste, to more responsible investments for all, the Group's diverse businesses are all dedicated to making sustainability accessible to individuals, SMEs and corporates.
