Created through a merger of two leading European agencies that specialised in rating companies and organisations on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, Vigeo Eiris is a world-reputed extra-financial analysis agency.

BNP Paribas has been taking part in the Vigeo Eiris (formerly Vigeo) ratings process since 2003. The Bank is required to fill out a questionnaire detailing its business and its corporate ESG policies. The questionnaire comprises six sections covering the six major domains which Vigeo Eiris sees as having major extra-financial impacts on a bank such as BNP Paribas, namely: Environment, Human Resources, Human Rights, Community Involvement, Business Behaviour and Corporate Governance.

The BNP Paribas Group's Morocco subsidiary BMCI also responds to the Vigeo Eiris questionnaire in accordance with its scope and businesses. In 2016, BMCI's laudable performance secured the bank a listing in the EURONEXT-Vigeo Eiris Ranking Emerging 70 index.
