2021 INTEGRATED REPORT

Our GTS 2025 strategic plan

Building on its solid foundations and on the achievements of the 2017‑2020 plan, BNP Paribas continues to pursue its long‑term development. The newly launched GTS 2025 strategic plan supports the Group’s ambitions to serve its customers, the economy and society.

Thanks to the significant investments made and the transformation carried out during the 2017‑2020 strategic plan, BNP Paribas has proven its model is solid, useful and profitable. Under this plan, the Group made remarkable progress in three areas: achieving significant market share gains, particularly among European corporate clients; accelerating the digitalisation of the customer experience; and consolidating the Group’s role as a pioneer in sustainable finance.

A DISTINCTIVE AND HIGH‑PERFORMING MODEL

BNP Paribas’ diversified and integrated model is the cornerstone of its coordinated approach to serving its clients’ needs. The business model fosters cohesion between businesses and enhances the Group’s performance in all environments, thus giving it a truly competitive edge.

A CLIENT‑CENTRIC MODEL

The Group’s long‑term approach is powered by deep relationships with clients and relies notably on strong risk management.

AN INTEGRATED MODEL

Thanks to the collaboration between all its businesses and its global connectivity, the Group provides complete coverage of client needs and accompanies clients in their development.

A DIVERSIFIED MODEL
