It is important to speak about the critical importance of diversity and inclusion within our company. These values are much more than a simple objective to achieve, they are the foundation of our corporate culture. Diversity in business is an essential subject to address. It enriches our teams by bringing different perspectives, experiences and ideas. Diversity in gender, age, ethnicity, skills and perspectives contributes to a more inclusive company culture and more informed decisions. Diversity also promotes innovation. When we bring people from diverse backgrounds together, we are better able to find creative solutions to complex problems. Additionally, it reinforces employee loyalty and company reputation by demonstrating a commitment to equal opportunity. However, it is essential to emphasize that diversity alone is not enough. Inclusion is just as important. Companies must create an environment where every employee feels valued, respected and heard. This requires equitable policies and practices, as well as ongoing awareness and training to combat unconscious bias. Ultimately, diversity in business is a valuable asset that benefits everyone. It promotes growth, innovation and prosperity, while contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society. I encourage you all to take part in this commitment to diversity and inclusion. It is together that we will build a promising future for our company and for each of its members. Thank you. BNP Paribas BNP Paribas CIB Yann Gérardin Pierre Fersztand
