Sustainable development of the BNP Paribas Group in Italy
For the BNP Paribas Group in Italy awareness of its values is reflected in the adoption of socially responsible behaviour, the impact of which is monitored for all the key stakeholders – communities, customers, employees and suppliers.
In Italy the Group invests in a large number of initiatives in support of the community, ranging from BNL’s financial education courses to raise awareness of the choices available (Educare Project) and its initiatives targeted at young people, to the Arval Ecopolis project for a sustainable city.

The Arval Sustainable City
For Arval, a BNP Paribas Group company and a leader in long-term car rental, fleet planning cannot ignore the broader context in which the fleets will be operating: cars have to share the environment with mankind and, at the same time, it is the environment that gives life to both. It was this concept that gave rise to Ecopolis, the Sustainable City – a virtual receptacle in which to set out a series of concrete initiatives related to sustainable development.

Financial education for an educated choice
There are many and continuous opportunities to meet with the community through the “Educare” programme of free training courses on key financial education issues, designed to encourage greater awareness of the various personal choices that are available.
