The bank recently stepped up its commitment to the “Projet Banlieues” or “Suburbs Project” with an investment of €4.5 million per year. Meanwhile, BNP Paribas is pursuing its CSR policy by extending its support to ADIE, a French micro-finance organisation.

It is also supporting an initiative dubbed “Together for employment” aimed at encouraging French Retail Banking branches to help people with a project in mind to seek financing from ADIE. Georgina Kumba talks about how she benefited from the initiative.
