BNP Paribas selects Sodexo as UK IFM partner
Sodexo UK & Ireland has been selected by BNP Paribas SA’s London branch as the sole IFM services partner for four sites, moving from multiple providers delivering single services to a fully integrated approach to FM services.
The new contract is for seven years, starting in November 2024 and Sodexo’s take-over of the portfolio of FM services will be phased. Services under the new contract include cleaning, waste management, pest control, mailroom, reprographics, workplace management, hard FM services and security.
BNP Paribas joins our growing portfolio of market leading financial institutions which are choosing to partner with us. Not only are we able to demonstrate our service delivery is efficient and effective, but we will also enable BNP Paribas to focus on its core business, safe in the knowledge our teams will be ensuring its workplaces run seamlessly, elevating the employee experience for its UK workforce.
BNP Paribas has pioneered sustainable finance initiatives, aligning with international frameworks like the Paris Agreement. The bank supports industries in achieving measurable sustainability goals, leveraging green finance to meet targets in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure development. This approach helps BNP Paribas lead in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) finance, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible investment. The organisation already partners with Sodexo in France, Belgium, Germany, the USA and Canada.
A key goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of bringing all the soft and hard FM services under one provider, and we were impressed by Sodexo’s demonstration of the benefits adopting this approach would have on our workplace strategy, with the delivery of financial efficiencies just one of these advantages.
Sodexo was able to demonstrate its forward-thinking approach to service delivery and utilising digital technology, all with sustainability at the centre of its operations. We have agreed a phased implementation of the new contract to ensure there is a smooth transition.
