Agent of Impact
Hervé Duteil, BNP Paribas. As the French bank’s chief sustainability officer for the Americas, Hervé Duteil is bringing financial chops to corporate social responsibility. The bank helped the World Bank float the first bond for development projects linked to the Sustainable Development Goals. It arranged the $95 million Tropical Landscapes Finance Facility to pay for wildlife-friendly, socially inclusive and climate-sensitive rubber production in two Indonesian provinces. In France, the bank has helped finance more than a dozen social service providers to build their programs and prove their value. In the U.S., BNP has backed social impact bonds supporting families dealing with substance abuse in Connecticut, and veterans in Massachusetts. “We’re in the business of tapping private sector money, of bridging private capital and projects,” Duteil said this week at BNP Paribas’ Impact Capital Forum in New York. “Our primary concern is to see if we can participate in the development of a product that works so that it can really bring that money-flow towards projects in need.” Follow ImpactAlpha on Instagram.
