BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROLLING CARBON FOOTPRINTS
WHILE PURSUING EFFORTS TO REDUCE ITS OWN CARBON EMISSIONS, BNP PARIBAS IS ALSO INNOVATING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS DO THE SAME BY MULTIPLYING INITIATIVES TO HELP THEM BETTER CONTROL THEIR OWN CARBON FOOTPRINT.
FRANCE, ITALY, POLAND, TURKEY: COUNTRIES MOBILISE
Several Group entities are working to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint.
Developed with the start‑up Greenly and launched in France in July 2020, the My Carbon Footprint service (Mon Empreinte Carbone), available on the My Accounts (Mes Comptes) and Hello bank! mobile applications, was further enhanced in February 2021. This service makes it possible to obtain a quick estimate of the carbon footprint of one’s expenses and identify ways to reduce this footprint. At the beginning of 2022, 724,000 customers had already used this functionality. In April 2021, BNP Paribas Bank Polska was the first bank on the Polish market to partner with the Swedish start‑up Doconomy to enable its customers to monitor and measure their carbon footprint.
In December 2021, Findomestic in Italy joined BNP Paribas Bank Polska in teaming up with Doconomy to roll out the offer via a credit card application. In Poland, BNP Paribas Bank Polska also offers its customers a multi‑bank management tool for their expenses, GreenUp, to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and raise customer awareness about controlled water usage.
Lastly, in Turkey, thanks to a partnership with the start‑up Normative, corporate clients will also have a solution to monitor their carbon footprint. A test has already been carried out with nine corporate clients, including eight multinationals.
