Panel discussion organised by BNP Paribas Wealth Management on the Solidarity Economy Round. Table by invitation only.


The socially-responsible economy: companies working in the public interest

The principle of the socially-responsible economy is based on a simple conviction: Companies, at the heart of society, are able to provide innovative and efficient solutions to the social challenges we face today. Yet these are largely unknown by the general public and often ignored by investors. Which companies, unlike any other, are concerned? In which sectors do they operate? How do they fulfill their social mission yet respect their economic obligations? What are their prospects for development and how can we invest in such companies?

In order to answer these questions, BNP Paribas Wealth Management Monaco has brought together players involved in the socially-responsible economy who will talk to you about their activities, success stories and expectations.
- Bertrand Gacon, Head of Socially Responsible Investments at BNP Paribas Wealth Management
- Olivier de Guerre, President and Founder of Phitrust Partenaires, an investment company in the socially-responsible economy
- Klaus Tischhauser, Founder and Director General of ResponsAbility, a company specialised in microfinance and social investment
