2023 Integrated Report

2. Ambitions

BNP Paribas continued the roll-out of GTS 2025 with great determination, despite a difficult geopolitical context and an uncertain economic scenario. Thanks to the commitment of our 183,000 employees, who are fully committed to our clients, we are steadily advancing at the set pace. We’re making faster-than-expected progress on certain major topics, such as our trajectory to phase out financing for fossil fuels. This is a true source of satisfaction for the Group, especially after we raised our targets at the start of the year.

Three structuring pillars

  • GROWTH: pursue profitable growth by building on our positions as a European leader;
  • TECHNOLOGY: use technology for the continuous improvement of our clients’ and employees’ experience and our operational performance;
  • SUSTAINABILITY: sharply accelerate and mobilise all our business lines on sustainable finance issues.

Human capital, the foundation of our success

Our employees are the main architects of our roadmap’s progress. As they’re also a high priority, we’re implementing numerous actions to develop their expertise and strengthen their individual and collective performance.
