We focus on activities which support positive social change, such as counteracting social exclusion, and we support education as well as culture. We are proud of the increasing social commitment of our employees and of numerous BNP Paribas Foundation in Poland programs which support education, integration and local social capital.

Our CSR & Sustainability Strategy commitments under the social responsibility pillar:

  • Products and services that are widely accessible.
