The World Heath Organisation (WHO) has raised the alert level of the A/H1N1 flu virus pandemic to 6 and considers the gravity of the risk on a global level as moderate.

Facing the recent developments in the pandemics, BNP Paribas has established a crisis committee, which is present in the countries of the Group’s activities.

In addition, the Human Resource department of the Group has published a module of self-study, designed to instruct and inform the employees of the particuliarities of the H1N1virus.

This module is created as an e-learning program, discussing the best practices to reduce the risk of spreading of the virus:

• How to combat the virus?
• How do develop healthy habits at the work place?

The best precaution, however, remains the good sense and responsibility of each and every one of us.
