Stichting BNP Paribas
What does the foundation do?
The Foundation (‘Stichting BNP Paribas’) came to life in September 2025 with the objective of supporting organisations active in 3 different areas:
- the protection of the environment
- making culture accessible to everyone
- the inclusion of vulnerable groups.
The Foundation and its volunteers’ mission is to dedicate their time, financial resources and expertise to supporting impactful organizations in the Netherlands. Together, their mission is to drive the transition towards a more sustainable and inclusive society that everyone deserves. Their purpose is to foster a sustainable and inclusive society in the Netherlands, creating lasting positive impact for generations to come.
The Foundation dedicates its effort to three thematic transitions:
Transition to a net-zero economy
Supporting for instance initiatives of reforestation and other nature-based solutions;
Transition to an economy that respects planetary boundaries
Supporting initiatives aimed at protecting biodiversity and natural habitats, promoting circular economy etc
Transition to an inclusive society
Supporting financially and socially excluded groups, including refugees, youth and women.
The role of the Foundation is to engage with Dutch foundations and associations leading the transition in each of these three thematic sectors and to support their programs by contributing with its financial resources and the expertise and efforts of the employees of the BNP Paribas Group in the Netherlands. As such, the Foundation’s activities are made possible solely through the financial contributions of the BNP Paribas Group, which represents its sole donor, and the dedication of its employees.
The beneficiary organizations are selected by the Board of Directors of the Foundation based on several criteria, which include communality with the purpose of the Foundation and an assessment of the expected impact of the projects.
