Although BNP Paribas regularly communicates about human rights and promotes “ethical investments”, the reality seems to be less rosy.
The second report of the international “Don’t Buy Into Occupation” coalition describes again how BNP Paribas has in recent years financed companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory.
Between January 2019 and August 2022, BNP Paribas provided USD 25.09 billion in loans and underwritings to such companies, in addition to investing (shareholdings and bond holdings) USD 3.01 billion in these companies.
