Giving meaning to loans and investments
With impact financing, Commercial & Personal Banking in France enables companies to integrate the achievement of environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives, which can be measured each year, into their bank loans starting at €100,000. When the target level of ESG performance is obtained, the company benefits from an interest rate subsidy on its financing, based on the sustainability-linked loans model.
For its part, BNP Paribas Real Estate launched ”Pierre Impact”, its first real estate fund with a positive social impact, in partnership with Cedrus & Partners. SRI(1) certified and distributed in unit-linked products, it invests mainly in residential real estate, as well as in solidarity real estate to fight against poor housing in France, alongside Solifap, the solidarity investment company of the Abbé Pierre Foundation.
