Tell us how your firm advances causes such as ESG and sustainability and what sets it apart?
“We are thrilled to have won these awards recognizing our responsible offering, not only worldwide, but also in key regions such as APAC and in MENA. We prioritise our clients, entrepreneurs and multi-generational families, and we focus on their expectations, leveraging our expertise across the entire BNP Paribas Group to serve their personal and professional financial needs. To advise and support our clients in their responsible investing choices, we have developed the “Clover Methodology” which rates the sustainability level of our investment offering on a scale from zero to ten clovers, regardless of the asset management company or asset class.”
What steps are you taking to stay ahead of competition?
“Facilitating the integration of sustainability in our business is key to our purpose at BNP Paribas Wealth Management. We have a long-standing commitment to the environment and society. Since 2006, we have expanded our product range, from ESG integration to impact investing and we have designed a comprehensive client journey which embeds sustainability:
· In step 1, we identify our client’s ESG preferences.
· In step 2, clients define their objectives (in terms of risk, return, and impact) with their relationship manager and our sustainability experts.
· In step 3, clients can choose the level of sustainability in their investments, and they can also select philanthropy solutions (ready-to-use or custom-made).
· In step 4, we propose investment solutions matching our clients ‘objectives.
We will continue to adapt our offering in line with the growing consideration of sustainable development challenges in the economy, the transition of the financial sector towards sustainable finance, and related regulations.”
