Nearly 60 million euros have been given to support numerous organisations through the Group’s emergency aid plan, of which 27 million euros was donated to the medical sector in many countries, including: France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The response to the crisis must be collective. To support those who are taking action on the ground and to help those in need, BNP Paribas has deployed an emergency aid plan in around thirty countries across the world.
Helping the most disadvantaged
Thanks to the 1MillionHours2Help commitment programme for employees, numerous organisations have received assistance around the world. In France, the BNP Paribas Foundation supported around fifteen major organisations working with elderly, isolated and disabled people, and women and children in danger. Through food donations (including the purchase of 20,000 luncheon vouchers and hygiene products), more than 5.2 million euros were donated.
3,000 computers were distributed to young people in order for them to follow remote schooling. These actions were carried out through our network of partner associations striving for equal opportunities, including “L’Ascenseur”.
(L’Ascenseur is a Parisian collective bringing together 20 organisations dedicated to equal opportunities.)
