On Monday 16 October 2023, the Luxembourg-based BGL BNP Paribas announced that it provided €45,400 in support of fifteen charitable projects for its fourteenth edition.

The BNP Paribas Group in Luxembourg launched the Help2Help solidarity programme in 2010, supported projects of general interest in which active or retired Group employees volunteer. These local and international projects cover a wide range of fields, including education, disability, the environment and humanitarian aid.

This year, the "Coup de Cœur" prize, worth €2,500, was awarded to the Hoa Trang – Fleur Blanche association. Based in Lorraine and active for over 25 years, Fleur Blanche is a humanitarian aid association that operates in Vietnam. The Coup de Coeur prize aims to enable the association to complete its project of rebuilding the sanitary facilities at a primary school. Its overall mission is to promote the well-being of children and disadvantaged populations. Fleur Blanche provides financial and logistical support for projects in Vietnam, in partnership with local players: renovation or construction of living spaces such as schools and social security centres. The non-profit organisation also provides sponsorships to assist young orphans and children with disabilities, or to support children's education. 

Today, the Help2Help initiative provides support in around 20 countries where the BNP Paribas Group operates, allocating more than €0.5 million to charitable projects around the world every year.
