elationships with suppliers maintaining core competencies although the group relies on outside suppliers for products and services that are not central to its businesses, it has chosen to retain control over its core competencies. Production processes remain highly integrated, thus limiting the use of outsourcing. in the it field, where outsourcing is common among financial institutions, bnP Paribas has adopted a unique approach by creating a joint venture with ibm france to meet its it processing requirements. this strategic alliance allows the group to retain control over technology while reducing its it costs, and to maintain a leading-edge centre of excellence. Worldwide management of the purchasing function in line with the group’s general approach, bnP Paribas has always placed major importance on the social and environmental responsibility of its suppliers. since 2001, the group has applied conduct and professional ethics rules to its relationships with suppliers. these rules create strict obligations of confidentiality, transparency and fairness on all staff involved in selecting suppliers. since 2002, all contracts negotiated and signed by the group have contained clauses relating to social and environmental matters. as regards social aspects, these clauses require compliance with international labour organisation (ilo) standards and with national employment legislation if this legislation is stricter than the ilo standards. since 2006, the group has performed periodic risk monitoring on listed suppliers. this includes analysing indicators relating to ethics and environmental protection. csr criteria have also been gradually integrated into the supplier selection process in certain product categories: — Hardware: invitation to tender for the supply of Pcs, including sustainable development requirements; — Printers: pre-qualification of suppliers based on environmental management, manufacturing processes and eco-certification; — office supplies and paper: Pefccertified paper (1) for printing and copying and for electronic publishing centres in france; — vehicle leasing: inclusion of low-co 2- emission cars in the vehicle catalogue with the addition of the toyota Prius in 2009. finally, the group’s purchasing teams have launched various initiatives in this area in the last few years: — arval has introduced a sustainable development charter for its suppliers. — in italy, bnl has carried out an awareness-raising campaign to reduce paper consumption. in addition, a catalogue of green office supplies has been compiled, and multifunction printers that save energy and lead to lower co emissions have been 2 selected. “green certificates” have been bought from enel energia, guaranteeing that a defined proportion of energy consumed comes from renewable sources. one of bnP Paribas milan’s buildings is equipped with sensors that improve electricity management. the group also uses a company that employs people in a sheltered workshop to process waste, and reports annually to bnP Paribas staff about reductions in paper, water and energy consumption. 69 <strong>RepoRt</strong> on CoRpoRate SoCial and enviRonmental ReSponSibility — itP arf supports projects led by business lines and the it department. these projects include digitising documents, reducing energy consumption and using video conferencing in order to reduce business travel. — in all entities, processes for the recycling of toners and ink cartridges have been introduced, in accordance with local legislation. in 2009, the Purchasing department strengthened and increased the scope of its governance system, and placed greater importance on sustainable development in the purchasing process. a guide to purchasing standards was distributed to all group purchasing teams in 2009. the guide includes compulsory rules and csr standards. a sustainable development team has been set up within the Purchasing department in order to extend the sustainable development approach and make it more systematic, and to coordinate actions taken by the various teams in this area. a sustainable development charter covering all group purchasing teams will be distributed. csr criteria will be integrated into the various phases of the purchasing process, from the definition of the purchasing strategy (defining ways of reducing expenditure) to the selection of suppliers (systematically including csr criteria in invitations to tender, with minimum weightings). supplier csr ratings will be expanded, csr performance indicators will be defined and csr issues will be included in the training of all purchasing staff from 2010 onwards. (1) PEFC: a label guaranteeing that the paper comes from forests whose owners are committed to complying with sustainable forest management rules. The label also guarantees that processing companies meet the requirements of the PEFC control chain.
this system is based on the shared conviction by all group purchasing teams that, far from being an obstacle to cost reduction, csr can often boost savings, since it results in a greater focus on limiting consumption and making efficient use of resources. Arval arval’s suppliers, stakeholders in its sustainable development approach, have been assessed on the basis of environmental and social criteria. since this assessment, a sustainable development engagement charter has been included in all suppliers’ contracts. this charter requires suppliers to implement sustainable development initiatives, adopt transparent environmental and social behaviours, and adhere to the ten principles of the united nations global compact which arval signed up to in 2004. the charter was introduced in france in 2007 and extended to most other countries in 2008. in 2008, arval defined minimum standards to ensure that suppliers are indeed able to follow the global compact principles. bnp paribas Real estate bnP Paribas works hard to comply with all environmental regulations in its property construction and acquisitions operations. a real estate guide sums up the strictest regulations in each country where bnP Paribas operates so that these regulations can be applied at all sites worldwide. all of a company’s central buildings are audited before the company is acquired. the group permanently monitors developments in environmental legislation and regulations. clauses covering the corporate and environmental responsibility of suppliers are included in all contracts, particularly in property-related contracts. 70 <strong>RepoRt</strong> on CoRpoRate SoCial and enviRonmental ReSponSibility bnp paribas fortis in 2009, new guidelines were introduced in belgium to encourage sustainable purchasing. these guidelines apply to all new contracts and contract renewals. existing contracts will be amended at the earliest legal opportunity. sustainability issues are included at each stage, and account for 10-30% of the total weighting in the selection process. bnl bnl has stepped up its efforts to raise awareness of social responsibility and quality issues among suppliers. more generally, bnl has renewed its commitment to the global compact via the italian network, and is maintaining its approach through its commitment to sustainable development principles.
