Financial Sustainability according to the Banca Generali model

Andrea Ragaini stated: "For us this is a key topic which today has growing sharing based upon values. Over the past three years, we have developed a project with the aim of creating a tangible, a real result for the customer who can easily verify what is the result of his commitment to the ESG".

"During the pandemic, the strong acceleration of ESG funds was the logical consequence both due to their greater resilience and their ability to react better to the pressures of the financial markets precisely because they intercept and are able to capture financial parameters that other investments do not they catch. Today, I would like to emphasize that we as a bank have the great opportunity to mobilize a significant amount of resources to promote sustainability more and more".
