At the same time, our HR policy is aimed
at promoting diversity, our employees
commitment and the perpetuation of
our partnership programme. The latter
enables every employee to take a share in
the Group s capital. In total, around 25%
of the Group s capital is currently held by
its employees.
With our foundations, namely Acting
for Tomorrow in France and BHF BANK
Stiftung in Germany, we are engaged
in public outreach. In France, our
endowment fund supports medical
research (Foundation for Alzheimer s
Research), work in areas hit by natural
disasters (Médecins Sans Frontières),
and education and training ( Espérances
Banlieues network, Institut Télémaque).
In Germany, these initiatives are assisted
by BHF BANK Stiftung, which is involved
in medical research as well as social and
cultural issues.
Businesses are playing an increasingly
important role in our society today.
We are determined to take active
responsibility.
Dear clients, employees and partners,
We are conscious of the fact
that our Group bears a responsibility to
society that goes far beyond the social
and legal obligations of our company.
For many years, we have followed
a sustainability approach (CSR) in both
France and Germany based on solidarity
with our clients, with our employees
and with society.
For over 15 years, we have offered
products and services drawing on
financial analysis that integrates
environmental, social and governance
(ESG) criteria. Our Group is therefore
a pioneer in Paris, one of the world s
leading financial centres for sustainable
finance and climate issues.
This approach was developed in our
asset management (23% of assets are
managed in line with ESG criteria), in our
private wealth management and in the
equity and bond business.
The dynamic that we have created is
reinforced within the Group by proposals
from teams at all levels. The aim is to
shrink our environmental footprint, for
example by reducing our consumption
and paying special attention to how we
travel. All these initiatives are drawn up
and carried out by an internal committee
of employees.
