Intesa Sanpaolo is the first major Italian banking group certified for gender equality under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP), thanks to its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The evaluation process examined six macro areas including culture and strategy, governance, human resources processes, gender-neutral opportunities for growth in the company, gender-neutral pay equity, parenting protection, and work-life integration.

This voluntary certification provided by Mission 5 of PNRR recognizes our commitment as Italian leading private Employer to the inclusion of all diversity and the enhancement of merit for our people, as well as the Group's engagement to promote a fundamental cultural change in our society and country.

Intesa Sanpaolo is proud to have participated in the award ceremony of the Girls@Polimi 2024 scholarship winners, held at the Polytechnic University of Milan.

Girls@Polimi is an initiative dedicated to encouraging young female students to approach STEM subjects and enrol in engineering degree courses, in order to reduce the gender gap in this sector. 

Intesa Sanpaolo believes that investing in female talent in STEM fields not only creates a more inclusive academic environment, but also stimulates a richer and more diverse ecosystem. We thank the Polytechnic University of Milan for this valuable collaboration and congratulate all the girls awarded: your determination and passion are a true source of inspiration for all of us.
