Demonstrated progress
Acknowledging the challenges of assessing and addressing modern slavery and human trafficking issues, BNP Paribas remains committed to the review and enhancement of its own processes and policies, in order to continually improve their range and effectiveness. Please refer to the 'ASSESSING EFFECTIVENESS' section of our MSA Statement for additional information on all three categories (workforce, suppliers, clients) covered in our approach.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Workforce’s inherent risk
- Area: Within your own operations
- Mitigation: BNP Paribas is committed to providing a working environment in which all employees are treated fairly. In particular, the Group focuses on respect and the need to apply the most stringent norms of professional behavior, and rejects all forms of discrimination. The Group’s existing policies and procedures notably include an annual review of high-risk countries in terms of HR, as well as a monitoring of employees aged between 16 and 18 (two in 2025).
- Risk: Suppliers’ inherent risk
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Mitigation: BNP Paribas ESG risk management related to its suppliers and subcontractors hinges around the following elements: - an ESG risk mapping tool encompassing 13 themes, including modern slavery and child labour, - a ‘Sustainable Sourcing Charter’, - contractual clauses requiring compliance with the ILO conventions, - ESG questionnaires, - training of Procurement function employees,
- Risk: Client’s inherent risks (Banking and Financial Activities)
- Area: Our clients are part of our value chain, but not our supply chains or considered to be part of our own operations (internal activities).
- Group: Children Other vulnerable groups
- Mitigation: BNP Paribas ESG risk management system is based on: - development of financing and investment policies, - ESG Assessment, - respect of the Equator Principles , - integration of ESG criteria in the Know Your Customer process, - progressive integration of ESG criteria in lending and rating policies, - use of management and monitoring tools for these risks, - training of financing business lines and control functions - an operational control plan.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
09 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
10 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
11 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
12 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
13 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
