Discover La Banque Postale’s Innovative Sustainable Savings Product: Empowering Your Future with ESG Principles
La Banque Postale, a leading French bank dedicated to sustainable finance, has recently unveiled a new financial savings offer focused on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. This innovative initiative is a part of the bank’s commitment to responsible investment options, reflecting the increasing demand from customers who wish to align their financial choices with sustainability principles.
Overview of La Banque Postale’s ESG Initiative
La Banque Postale operates in various sectors, including banking, insurance, and asset management. It provides a wide array of financial services through its subsidiaries, such as CNP Assurances, LBP AM, and Louvre Banque Privée. The bank’s strategic focus is on financial inclusion and sustainable development.
New ESG-Based Savings Offer
The newly introduced savings offer is crafted to help customers make informed financial decisions that resonate with their personal values. The products are accessible through:
- Life insurance
- Ordinary securities accounts
- Share Savings Plans
These options incorporate ESG metrics and cover a variety of investment vehicles, including euro units, eurocroissance units, UCIs, EMTNs, and discretionary management portfolios.
Three-Tier ESG Commitment Structure
The savings offer is structured into three tiers, each representing a different level of ESG commitment:
- Level 1: Excludes companies involved in harmful activities like tobacco, controversial weapons, and fossil fuels.
- Level 2: Focuses on companies with robust ESG performance, actively avoiding those with poor environmental practices.
- Level 3: Prioritizes impact-driven solutions, supporting companies in sectors such as climate action, sustainable mobility, biodiversity protection, and social inclusion.
This tiered approach not only simplifies the selection process for clients but also integrates non-financial criteria into the bank’s advisory practices, exceeding basic regulatory requirements.
Leadership Statements on Sustainable Finance
Stéphane Dedeyan, Chairman of the Management Board at La Banque Postale, emphasized the bank’s mission-driven approach: “For the past three years, La Banque Postale has prioritized a just transition as a core element of its growth strategy, aiming to foster a more sustainable economy. By facilitating accessible and educational investment products, we empower our clients to actively participate in this transition.”
Sarah Bouquerel, Deputy CEO of the Retail Bank and Director of the LBP Business Unit at CNP Assurances, added, “This new segmentation of our financial savings is designed to meet our customers’ expectations for responsible and transparent investment options. We enable our clients to contribute to ecological and social transitions while achieving financial performance.”
