SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONNRE A ppendices – Social chapter 7< Contents >NRE social indicators – Year ended 31 December 2007 Scope for 200724. Company benefit schemesNational-level social and cultural activities are administered by the Central Works Council and other staff benefi t schemesare coordinated by local works councils. Benefi ts offered to employees include children’s summer camps and organisedholidays for staff, contributions to meal expenses, family welfare, lending libraries for books, records, videos and othermedia, and discounts for theatres and cinemas. A sports and cultural society allows staff to take part in and attend a varietyof team sports and cultural events.A breakdown of BNP Paribas SA’s contributions to company benefi t schemes is provided in the Social Report.The budget allocated to company benefi t schemes in 2007 amounted to EUR 90.67 million.25. Relations with the community, including associations to combat social exclusion,educational institutions, environmental and consumer associations, and local residentsThis point is developed in the Sustainable Development Report under the section entitled A partner in society.Over the years, BNP Paribas SA’s local banking network in France has been involved in hundreds of formal or informal voluntarypartnerships with various organisations. These relationships often take the form of internships, work experience schemes orapprenticeships. Many of these partnerships also serve to promote the sports, cultural and artistic initiatives of young people, aswell as local projects to help integrate them into the labour force, fi ght social exclusion and protect the environment.Projet banlieues: with Projet banlieues, launched in December 2005, the BNP Paribas Foundation offers its support toADIE (a non-profi t association providing microloans to the unemployed) to foster business development in disadvantagedneighbourhoods. The project has helped fi nance six new ADIE offi ces throughout France, including one in Toulouse inSeptember 2007 and another in the La Duchère area of Lyons in October 2007.Consumer organisations: the Quality & Consumer Relations Department within French Retail Banking has set uppartnerships with around ten consumer rights groups.Within the scope of partnership agreements as well as through specifi c projects, the groups of branches within theBNP Paribas network maintain very close relationships with the organisations and schools in their areas. Thesepartnerships are often much more than purely commercial relationships, offering fi nancial, technical or even organisationalsupport for the projects undertaken by the partnerships.Links with schoolsBNP Paribas has continued to have a very active campus management policy – with more than 100 school eventsorganised in 2007 – giving rise to a signifi cant increase in the number of applications from trainees (work placements, VIEVolontariat International en Entreprise and work/study programmes).■ BNP Paribas allocated EUR 958,000 to institutions in underprivileged inner-city areas as part of the apprenticeship tax itpays. This amount was used to purchase, hire and maintain teaching and professional equipment and facilities.■ BNP Paribas sponsors the Fête le Mur association which enables young people in underprivileged areas to play tennis.As part of its involvement, BNP Paribas invited 30 children from Fête le Mur in the south-east of France to attend theMonte Carlo Masters Series in April 2007. BNP Paribas also invited dozens of children from the Lyon area to attend thebest matches of the Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon tournament, of which it is the main sponsor.26. Contribution to regional development and employmentThe Group seeks to promote economic development in the territories where it is based by providing its clients with thefi nancing to fuel their development. BNP Paribas plays a major role in fi nancing entrepreneurs and new small businesses,which are the mainstay of the French economy. The latest barometer of corporate client satisfaction measures the progressperceived in the quality of monitoring and assistance provided by the business centres. Regional access to centres ofexpertise (Trade Centres and trading rooms) is also very favourably viewed.BNP Paribas’ local banking network outside of France also contributes to fi nancing and developing the local economy.The Group takes steps to ensure that local employees are promoted to senior positions. The number of expatriate posts isintentionally restricted.27. Outsourcing and the Bank’s policy with subcontractors: steps to ensure that subcontractors complywith International Labour Organization (ILO) standardsThe new IT Production, Information Technology & Processes department (ITP) function manages all procurement contractsin excess of EUR 1 million. Since 2002, all contracts negotiated and signed by the purchasing function integrated intoITP include clauses providing for compliance with International Labour Organization (ILO) standards or setting out localemployment law principles in the event that such principles are stricter than ILO standards.To promote transparency, the purchasing function set up a dedicated suppliers’ portal on the Group’s website, whichmakes specifi c reference to sustainable development and compliance with ILO standards. For more information,visit http://fournisseur.bnpparibas.com/deven.htm.Going against the grain of the widespread trend toward outsourcing of information technology functions, BNP Paribasopted for a novel solution by creating a joint venture with IBM France to meet the Group’s IT processing needs.This strategic alliance answers the call for controlling and decreasing IT costs, while preserving a centre of excellencein France with leading-edge technology. Thanks to this original partnership, BNP Paribas is able to stay in command ofits IT capabilities, while ensuring a painless transition for its employees, since all those concerned were able to keep theindividual and collective benefi ts associated with their previous status. IT development activities in Morocco and Indiaremain limited and are handled by Group subsidiaries. They have not led to any redundancies in France.SA mainlandSA mainlandInternationalnetworkSA mainlandGroup12345678910112007 Registration document - BNP PARIBAS 257
