January 1, 2019

To guarantee access to water and sanitation, and to ensure sustainable management of water resources, BNP Paribas has developed specific financing and investment products.

At BNP Paribas, we have made the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals part of our corporate objectives, because we consider that large companies must contribute to a more equitable and ecological world.

Worldwide, over 660 million people don’t have access to drinking water resources.”
