Beyond Fossil Fuels Letter to BNP Paribas on financing of sustainable power solutions

16.04.25

ShareAction is a part of the Beyond Fossil Fuels campaign. The campaign unites 70+ organisations from across European civil society in the mission to speed up the transition to a fossil-free, renewables-based European power system by 2035.

In this letter to Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, CEO of BNP Paribas, we call on the bank to set a robust financing target for sustainable storage and grid upgrades, aligned with the IEA NZE scenario, to support the effective rollout of renewable power.
