A series of initiatives favouring the circular economy distinguished BNP Paribas in 2021. BNP Paribas Cardif launched insurance for reconditioned phones, tablets and laptops in six countries: France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands. Designed in partnership with the leading marketplace for refurbished products, Back Market, and insurtech, bolttech (formerly i‑surance), this offer meets the expectations of consumers who seek products with a limited environmental footprint. To encourage an eco‑responsible approach, in the event of damage, priority is given to repairs. In addition, each time a new member joins, all three partners donate €1 to the Wings of the Ocean association specialising in ocean clean‑ups. The Group, through BNP Paribas Personal Finance, has also decided to invest in long‑term leasing for consumer products ranging from IT equipment to bicycles, with a minority stake in Evollis, acquired in October 2021.
