BNP Paribas Group Procurement has implemented the following steps to mitigate environmental or
social risks in its supply chain:
- The identification of environmental and social risks on its spend categories through a risk
mapping review;
- A BNP Paribas Suppliers policy that requests suppliers to comply with environmental and social
laws and regulations in the countries where they operate, as well as with the social principles
outlined in the following reference texts:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and its two additional covenants;
Conventions of the International Labour Organization, in particular regarding minimum
age and child labour and abolition of forced and compulsory labour;
- The inclusion of a sustainability questionnaire in calls for tenders that requires suppliers to sign
up to the BNP Paribas Suppliers Charter, in particular the clauses on ethics and human rights, as
well as disclose their current commitments and practices in regards to all matters of social,
environmental and governance performance;
- The inclusion of contractual clauses in supplier contract standard templates, that requires the
suppliers to observe the principles of the conventions of the International Labor Organization in
all countries in which it operates and to make every effort to ensure its application by its own
suppliers, subcontractors and distributors.
In 2016, a dedicated project to implement the MSA regulation has been implemented in our UK Branch,
in line with the Group policies
