“In a context marked by rapid technological developments and increasing regulatory requirements, we are continuing to roll out our People Strategy by focusing on three areas: having the right people in the right place at the right time; aligning team skills with the Group’s strategy; and ensuring the well-being of every employee.”

FOSTERING GENDER DIVERSITY

BNP Paribas continues to increase the number of women in its governing bodies. For instance, women account for 43% of the G100, which brings together the Group’s hundred or so main senior managers. At the same time, we are continuing our work to achieve greater gender equality in structurally unbalanced jobs, through recruitment and mobility initiatives. Efforts are particularly focused on IT and digital technology through the Women in IT programme. We have set ourselves a target of 35% women in the IT sector by 2030. As a result of the initiatives carried out, this rate had already reached 30% at the end of 2025.

COMMITTING TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF TEAMS

We are committed to the global We Care programme, which deploys targeted local actions focused on prevention, information and support, addressing two major risks: sedentary lifestyles and mental health. This programme is all the more necessary in the context of the accelerating transformations that we are undergoing. It is already widely deployed, with 98% of our employees able to benefit, for example, from online psychological support. The health and well-being of our employees and managers are, now more than ever, a priority on which we will make no compromises.

Our Tech Academy

Launched in October 2025, the Tech Academy brings together two former programmes: our Digital, Data & Agile Academy, and our IT Academy. It provides our teams with a training offer that meets the Group’s needs in terms of data, AI, IT, tools and methods. It aims to strengthen skills regardless of the level of expertise, with content ranging from introductory training for novices to dedicated courses for the most experienced, including upskilling and reskilling modules. In 2025, nearly 73,000 employees (over 37%) completed at least one training course from the Tech Academy catalogue, including more than 22,000 who took the generative AI introductory module.
