What if your investment could inspire change?
Recent years have brought growing awareness of the importance of sustainable finance and ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria in investment decisions.
Optimise your investments with a responsible approach
Responsible investment decisions take into account not only the usual financial criteria but also environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. Such consideration is useful for identifying investments that could have a positive impact on sustainable development, and benefit from this.
You too can bear social and environmental impact in mind when making your investment decisions. This complements and aligns with your expected returns, risk appetite and investment horizon.
Invest in solutions that address climate change.
The latest synthesis report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stresses that increasingly common extreme weather events brought about by climate change are already having adverse effects and causing loss and damage for ecosystems and mankind. This report states that some 3.3 to 3.6 billion people are living in situations that are highly vulnerable to climate change. According to the IPCC, it is therefore essential to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, and to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050*.
With BNP Paribas Climate Change(1) you invest in companies involved in:
either reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
or adapting to new climate paradigms.
These solutions span various domains, including:
- energy efficiency;
- renewable energy;
- waste recycling;
