BNP ParibasESG & Sustainability Jobs

Financial services company focusing on sustainable finance and ESG investments

BNP Paribas is a global banking group headquartered in Paris, operating across retail banking, corporate and institutional banking, and investment services. It serves individuals, businesses, and institutions in more than 60 countries.

Why it matters

As one of the world's largest banks, BNP Paribas has significant influence over capital flows into climate-relevant sectors. The group has made public commitments to align its financing portfolio with the Paris Agreement, including targets to reduce exposure to fossil fuels and increase financing for renewable energy and green infrastructure. It publishes annual sustainability reports disclosing financed emissions across asset classes and has signed onto initiatives such as the Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

The ESG roles on this board sit within the Risk division, focused on integrating climate and ESG risk factors into credit and portfolio analysis - a growing function as regulators across the EU require banks to assess and disclose climate-related financial risks under frameworks like the EBA guidelines and CSRD.
