Our support
Our Impact Advisory support centered around where BNP Paribas UK could have the biggest charitable impact. Our workshops helped identify the issue of education to encourage social mobility, a topic that aligns with their global CSR strategy, that the UK-based teams could focus on. From there, we were able to provide:
A landscape analysis
Conducting research to better understand the social need around education in the UK, the attainment gap and the barriers at each stage, from early years to post-16 education. We found that the UK has a considerable attainment gap, which is disproportionally impacting children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Benchmarking
Reviewing BNP Paribas UK’s giving against commercial competitors, looking at strategy, activities, donation volumes, volunteering and partnerships.
Governance options
Providing insights and options for governance at national, local and hybrid levels to ensure accountability from strategic level to implementation.
Recommendations
Offering recommendations to take forward including around setting and communicating goals and targets, aligning activities to strategic pillars, measuring impact, following the social need, identifying the right delivery partners, and involving staff in decision making and activities.
