As a result, a decision was taken,in conjunction with the Shareholder Liaison Committee, to donate EUR 12for every investor attending the meeting to the “Coup de pouce aux projetsdu personnel” (a helping hand for employee projects) programme. Theprogramme was specifically developed by the BNP Paribas Foundationto encourage public-interest initiatives for which Bank staff personallyvolunteer their time and efforts.The sums collected (EUR 21,468 in 2012) are donated in addition to thefunds that the Bank already grants to this programme via the BNP ParibasFoundation, which operates under the aegis of the Fondation de France.Total 2012 contributions were ultimately divided between 51 projects,262012 Registration document and annual financial report - BNP PARIBAS
