In signing the Zero Single-Use Plastic manifesto launched by IMS, BNP Paribas Luxembourg made a commitment in 2019 to eliminating single-use plastics by 2020!
Faced with an environmental emergency, the staff at BNP Paribas Luxembourg are intent on promoting conservation through direct action, including in the workplace.
In 2019, our annual consumption went from 200,000 coffee stirrers, 90,000 plastic plates and cutlery sets, 80,000 straws and 660,000 disposable cups to... none!
In December 2019, the bank handed out several hundred glass bottles that staff can refill at company water fountains.
At the beginning of 2020, we stopped distributing plastic bottles, but we still have some way to go before we can eradicate all other disposable plastic containers.
By changing our daily habits, we can make a real impact on our environment.
