This year again, BNP Paribas Corporate & Investment Banking has decided to continue its business gift policy, donating its year-end business gifts budget to charities. For the second consecutive year, BNP Paribas Corporate & Investment Banking is committed to a global cause: the prevention and the treatment of infectious diseases. This issue is being addressed jointly with the Institut Pasteur, a non profit private foundation which contributes to the prevention and the treatment of disease, primarily infectious diseases, through research, education and public health activities at a global level, supported by the BNP Paribas Foundation Last year, in 29 countries, BNP Paribas Corporate & Investment Banking brought its financial support to the Institut Pasteur’s international network of research teams and collaborative partnerships involved in various issues such as hepatitis C (Spain), ameobiasis (India), typhoid fever (Ireland), dengue hemorrhagic fever (Mexico), West Nile virus (Czech republic), avian flu (France), malaria (Colombia, Brazil), measles and HIV (United Kingdom), and tuberculosis (Belgium) etc. The video below presents the Institut Pasteur, its missions, its worldwide presence, the way we built our common partnership, with a special focus on the Laboratory for Urgent Response to Biological Threats, which we supported in France last year.
