CREATING CONNECTIONS TO EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS TO INITIATE OR ACCELERATE THE TRANSFORMATION OF THEIR COMPANY TO A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
BNP Paribas Wealth Management aims to create connections to empower entrepreneurs in their ambition to initiate or accelerate the transformation of their company to a sustainable business.
Almost 40% of Elite Entrepreneur respondents to the ‘BNP Paribas Global Entrepreneur Report’ of November 2017 considered ‘positive impact’ as core to how they assess business performance, compared to 10% of respondents two years ago.
In the latest 2019 ‘BNP Paribas Global Entrepreneur Report’, entrepreneurs across the world place sustainable investments in their top five choices for growth potential. UHNW entrepreneurs go further and put sustainable investments in their top two sectors for future investments.
Growing demand for increasingly limited natural resources, changing socio-economic conditions and a changing climate are creating unmet challenges and new opportunities. BNP Paribas Wealth Management can play an important role to empower worldwide entrepreneurs to adapt and respond to this changing context. Our ambition is to design, along with entrepreneurs, the future of their wealth.
