Corporate & Social Responsibility
BNP Paribas is committed for a positive impact
Engaging with the local community
Having operated in the Channel Islands since 1979, we instil a company ethos of the precedence of supporting local initiatives to strengthen our community.
Our Corporate and Social Responsibility prospers through the continued willingness of our staff who have raised thousands over the years for associated charities. Each year staff vote for the charities they wish to support and donate via Payroll Giving and other staff-led initiatives which enable us to raise additional funds for charity.
Our Time For You To Give (OTFYTG) volunteering scheme gives our 300+ Channel Island based employees the opportunity to spend one day of ‘work time’ per annum on a number of voluntary projects covering People Care , We Are Tennis , our local Environment and Channel Island Heritage .
We wholeheartedly feel that our integrated Corporate and Social Responsibility activities are appreciated and successful due to the continued support of our staff, who go above and beyond for our commitment. But is also due to the efforts of the charitable, social and environmental organisations we work alongside, who work tirelessly to pave a brighter and stronger local community every day.

Local Heritage
Jersey Heritage(http://www.jerseyheritage.org/home) is also important to us and the ‘ OTFYTG ’ volunteering initiative enables our staff to work on a range of tasks such as the archiving of documents, which includes cleaning, packaging, cataloguing and the scanning of documents, and more recently a team went to Mont Orgueil Castle to do ground clearance work.
People Care
For many years our staff have undertaken various gardening tasks at Jersey Hospice(http://www.jerseyhospicecare.com/) gardens and more recently worked in conjunction with the tireless Hospice volunteers on the logistical side of running their amazing charity shops.
Local Environment
We’ve taken part in projects such as tree planting, meadow clearing, beach cleaning and many more projects aimed to reset the clock and encourage local children to look after their islands. We feel it is vital to maintain our natural environments and nurture what we have for a more sustainable (and beautiful) future, so we are thrilled to be able to be involved whilst working alongside the environmental experts, who provide our staff and school children with educational talks.
